We love hearing that Gradelink is enabling your school to run more efficiently, Victoria! Unfortunately, there are fees for tuition management and EnrollMe, but that's because there are additional costs on our end.
We worked with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] for the demo, introduction, and implementation of the product and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] for any technical support that came up.
Pros
Gradebook, Parent communication and portal, transcripts and report cards, attendance, student information management, reports

Thank you, Gail! We are honored by your recommendation.
As Admissions Coordinator it has really helped the process for online enrollment and management of less paper.
Pros
What I like most is all that it has to offer, such as report cards, email communication and data management reports into exel or pdf.
Cons
For now, I do wish the prospects portion of the software was a little more refined. It does store information that as a school we do use and resource however I do wish somehow those could be status switched to new enrollment if they chose to enroll. Seems like a lot of duplicating of information.

We have been able to simplify our procedures and systems with Gradelink. Most data is now held in Gradelink--a huge help.

Gradesheet - wish assignments only required date due (not date assigned), and that date due would auto populate as current date (or allow this to be customizable by each school).

The cost increases that have been added to make small changes to the enrollment paperwork. I get fees for large changes. But to edit or change wording is a bit extreme.

Feedback from our schools is an important part of our development of new features and updating existing ones, so appreciate your input, Becky!
If you're just looking for something to keep track of grades only, it might be ok, but the contact management portion is severely lacking.

We appreciate your feedback, Cara. Input from our customers is an important part of our ongoing product development. Schools typically use our EnrollMe feature to streamline their enrollment procedures. We are in the process of updating the prospects page and the reports we currently have. A member of our support team will be contacting you to see what we can do to meet your needs.
We save paper by not having to print our report cards or progress reports for parents since they are accessible to them online.
Pros
I refer to it often to record student attendance, look up phone numbers, and check on student information.
Cons
Some applications take several steps to enter the data. I wish is could be more streamlined..
