"Of the many administrative school systems available, we chose Schoolmaster Information Systems because of Tyler Technlogies' willingness to work with our district to identify our needs and to help us structure a system to meet those needs...
We have been very pleased with our choice of information system and very satisfied with our ongoing telephone support."
Assistant Principal in Connecticut
"Schoolmaster has been wonderful in preparing the way for implementation of electronic reporting. Through their conferences and phone support, you can always count on them to be there to help with any problems or questions."
PDA Classroom is a "must have" for teachers who teach in a non-traditional classroom environment (e.g., PE teachers, coaches, band directors, etc.), and do not have access to a classroom workstation.
Once a teacher's PDA is synchronized in the morning, s/he can carry the PDA anywhere and collect daily or period attendance and perform basic Mark Entry for their classes or sections. Teachers can synchronize during the day or at the end of the day to submit data to the Schoolmaster database. PDA Classroom is a great way to handle data collection during field trips or for those times when substitute teachers are needed.
In addition to data collection, PDA Classroom also allows teachers with appropriate access rights to view the following for students in their classes or sections.
Student Primary Data including pictures and IDs
Rosters / Sections / Schedules
Primary contact information (adults)
Current day attendance (as of last synchronization)
