Student Reports

The Student Reports module allows staff to write reports using shared comment banks for consistency. As you’d expect, data held in STARS can be incorporated into reports too. You can even publish reports online for parents if you want, saving postage and administration costs. STARS 4 Schools makes the toughest job simpler.

Features

• Each set of student reports can have its own rules for comment entry and pick-list selection (e.g. 'Effort', 'Attitude to Learning', etc).
• Comment banks can be used to bring consistency to comments.
• A peer-review workflow supports quality control.
• Real-time monitoring of report-writing activity identifies gaps early.
• Student grades are automatically fed through to reports from markbooks.
• Templates bring flexibility and allow attendance charts, residual charts and school logos etc to be incorporated. Grades can be "traffic lighted" to illustrate the student's progress compared to their targets.
• Reports can be previewed online or as PDF files.
• Published reports can be printed as PDFs or delivered online, consistent with 2010 / 2012 targets and bringing significantly reduced printing, postage and administration costs.

Benefits

• Consistency - Comment banks and pick lists support school policies on student reports.
• Flexibility - Templates can be modified to change report content and appearance, and finished reports can be delivered online or printed within the school as PDF documents.
• Simplicity - Creating a new set of reports to be completed by staff takes moments.
• Seamlessness - Targets and marks entered in markbooks feed straight into reports.
• Availability - Staff can write reports securely from work or home. Published reports can be made available online to parents and/or students.
• Save time and money - Online reports save on printing, postage and administration costs.
