SWAN Proposed Enhancements
SWAN/VAX Enhancements
- Email the verification sheets to the respective teachers and then
allow them to reply to the SIS grade personnel with any changes (via
email). On the verification sheet, print out the comment description
rather than the comment number (most teachers don't take the time to
cross reference the number but would more easily recognize an incorrect
description).
- Scheduler read SWAN_MASTER.DAT to determine who gets a new batch of grades.
Also, allow the districts to specify a time for this update so as not to
interfere with their nightly backup operations.
GRADE ENTRY
- Bubble sheet style of entry of grades
- Creation of /OECN/NOACSC/DATA/EGBOOK/bunny to allow for upload of
electronic grade book file(s)
- Kathy (AP). Provide a means to allow teachers to update and enter
their incompletes once the incompletes have been made up.
- Frames for the titles
- Automate the selection of grading period that the building is currently
in. Provide a way to override the automation if desired to select
options manually.
ATTENDANCE
- Ability for SWAN to put an HTML based version of the attendance report
on the district/building server for use by the teachers via a web
browser.
- Program to show who has and has not entered their attendance yet.
- Lunchcount for people that do not have a class (i.e. AC at BAEL)
- Ability to process both AM and PM daily attendance.
- Frames for the titles
- Complete and test period by period attendance. Currently, no NOACSC
schools that do period by period attendance are using SWAN.
