spt3 - Strengthening the Student Teacher Parent Triangle

The spt3 System

Schools deal with a huge amount information.  Schools also  need to communicate that information to parents, students and the school staff.  spt3 is the answer to these needs.

Some of the challenges that schools have always faced are:

 Keeping track of each and every student's educational progress.

 Keeping various staff members in sync and aware of each other's activities and needs.

 Keeping parents up to date and involved in their child's educational progress.

 Giving the sudent a clear picture of his or her present status.

spt3 provides solutions to the above issues, and in the process has gone far beyond these needs.  Attendance, grades, behavior tracking, calendars etc. are examples of the information managed by spt3.  In addition, by having an online information management system with access to teachers, students and their parents, spt3 creates an online community.  The heart of this community is the students' education.  The importance and centrality of education in the lives of the teachers, students and their parents acts as a magnet drawing all into this online community.  In what ways does spt3 contribute to the educational experience of the school community?

 Students get rapid feedback.  They see a clear summary of where they are standing, and they know that their parents are also seeing the same.  In many students this can have a profound influence on their success. 

 Parents feel that they are involved in the school.  Not only are they being constantly updated regarding their child's educational process, spt3 opens for them a window into the school experience and atmosphere. 

 Teachers feel organized, both with the areas that they are personally responsible for, but also coordinated with other school staff.  Communication is made easy with all members of the school community - staff, parents and students.  Teachers feel empowered with the ability to easily provide educational materials through the site to the students.

 School administrators have tools to view the school as a whole from above, and to drill down to specific details of one student.  At school , home or on vacation - administrators have constant access to a "control panel" of the school.

spt3 is dedicated to being an oustanding school information system.  spt3 is also dedicated to be much more.  An online school community is much more than information managment - and spt3 will continually grow and nuture the opportunities that an online community offer.
