AdminPlus.com has streamlined how we manage student data—easy access, customizable dashboards, and continuous improvements make it a game-changer for our school.

The new features, like customizable tiles and improved report cards, have simplified daily tasks and saved our team valuable time.

IT Manager

The system is reliable for core student information management and offers comprehensive features for attendance, grading, and reporting.

Director of Technology

It streamlines scheduling, attendance, and reporting, making daily operations smoother for staff.

School Administrator

I am unsure if this is a genuine “con,” but Rediker offers numerous data fields, some preprogrammed and others that the system allows you to add.

User interface feels dated compared to newer SIS platforms. While functional, some screens and workflows could benefit from a more modern, streamlined design.  

With adminplus.com getting up and running, there are still some of the items that I would like to be use that are not yet available, however they provide regular updates and constant communication about what is coming up.

Tuition Assistance and Database Supervisor

In AdminPlus.com not all the reports we use are integrated and the report forms don't work for us right now.

IT Tech

ease of function - upgraded apps for Admin and Parents - ability to get data in whatever format or listing needed by Admin

The layout is great, and there are options to customize, which is great given the overwhelming amount of information available.

The report-writing feature is coming along well and the import and export/Excel is very helpful to us.

The updated dashboards make it easy to track struggling students, monitor progress, and catch attendance issues early to better support at-risk students.

Secretary and Administrative Assistant

I also appreciate that AdminPlus securely stores all the school's information, and it is an easy tool to access from anywhere.

There are so many features that we are using for different areas of the school.

We use Groups and it doesn't seem to be available in the AdminPlus app.

School Registrar

I like that I am able to have all the information I need about a student.

It is user friendly, customizable for various users and an incredible tool well worth the money that we pay.

It contains everything we need for a large catholic school.

The amount of data can be overwhelming at first.

The newer AdminPlus.com has wonderful custom features and is easy to use.  

Rediker AdminPlus has been a reliable, user‑friendly SIS for our district.

Program Coordinator

IT and STEM Teacher

Weve been using it for about 5-7 years now and its an upgrade that was needed.

Online forms also made re-enrollment and account updates simple and efficient.

So many have been educators that they understand our needs.

Has a great outlook and it shows on so many levels.

Data and Assessment

Assistant Principal

We now: utilize on-line forms; maintain digital portfolios for student records; notify stakeholders of important information via text, phone, and e-mail; generate student reports and send them digitally; track attendance and discipline; track student performance on standardized tests; track student involvement in clubs and sports; provide a digital school calendar to stakeholders; and provide parents with performance information on a regular basis.  

Technology

Ease of use the teachers was difficult when is came to grading

The wonderful and efficient feature of using the integrated programs is that when information is updated in the database it flows seamlessly to the other programs.

Administrator's Plus stands out as a versatile and time-saving tool for school administrators.

Having used Administrator's Plus for six years now, we continue to discover new features that simplify our work.

The Parent Portal provides valuable information but is difficult to access, slow to respond and not very user friendly.

Teachers and Guidance Counselors report that LiveBook is a valuable addition to their digital toolbox.   

Administrative Assistant

Ease of use, easy data entry, and now with registrations much easier , updating student profiles is easy now that we use it.

Marketing Communications Director

That said, even in demonstrating the upgraded version, we ran into bugs and other nuisances.

AdministrationPlus is excellent for being Web-Based, and cloud implementation.

sensitive content hidden], the accounts manager in GCC is a great hand of help in directing towards the right products.

AdministrationPlus has established itself as a stable, complete and reliable tool.

Further, account managers always want to be incredibly helpful.

Director of Information Systems

Of course all the student, parent, and teacher experiences are web based or with an app.   But the administrator has to remote into a Windows environment, which is really just a minor inconvenience all things considered, and they are working on the new web based Admin Plus.  

The huge recent addition is integration between the GradeBook and Google Classroom, that really helped our school during Covid-19 as did their fantastic Support and other teams.  

From the day I started using it, I found it easy to understand, user friendly.  

The team at Rediker is knowledgeable, professional, and great to work with.

Some of these bigger companies may have more resources but also an incoherent strategy a lot of the time.

replacement teacher

I had the opportunity to use Seesaw in my college courses, where I was able to easily share my projects and sketches with professors and peers, receiving valuable feedback to improve my work and communication from both parties.

What I liked the most about this tool is that it allowed my students to creatively share their work, projects, and reflections through a variety of formats, such as images, videos, and files to me to improve communication with them.

Teacher

It’s a way to capture their learning in the classroom and sharing it with stakeholders.

However, I would like our current reading program, Wonders, to sync with Seesaw automatically.

Seesaw is a wonderful platform to use in the classroom with younger learners to get them excited to share with their families about learning.

Physical Therapist Assistant

Supports wonderful communication with students and families.

I like that you can upload students work or picture of them working on a project so parents stay informed about the learning in class

Easy to communicate with students/families and share what is happening in class.

User friendly, able to post to class or individual students.

COTA

Seesaw has been a great asset to our school district.  

I love the ability to assign my students personalized assignments to fit their individual needs!

Teacher 

Being able to save them and organize them within our personal library is very helpful too.

Seesaw is easy to use for teachers, students and parents.  

Some functions are for difficult for student to drag objects.

Manager

Seesaw has the perfect level of communication and interaction, along with the ability to create, submit and feedback on pupil work.

I love using seesaw in my room with the upgraded option.

It’s also a great way to keep families in the loop because of the messaging system.

Production Lead

Seesaw overall is a great communication app and has some better features than other apps like Class Dojo or Remind.  

I can't think of any specific dislikes in particular

Being able to see what kids are doing in their classroom is very important

Sometimes it was a bit confusing to check the announcements other then that everything is great.

Seesaw is a fantastic way to keep students and parents engaged.

I think for more advanced students it might have more functionality.  

Having the activity library is another great feature.

Sr. Communications Consultant

I also like that I can interact via comments and video responses (or regular email-style messaging).

Instructional Technology Coach

It has been wonderful as a teacher and as a parent to be able to have seesaw.

Instructional Technologist

We started using it during the pandemic for remote learning, but we continue to use it now that students are back on site because it provides easy communication with students and families, create assignments, and curate student work.

Teacher assistant 

Not only is it a great way to virtually post and submit school work, it's a great way to send messages to parents

i had this app from my daughter's school.

Graphic Designer

Being able to complete them in the app and even send messages to the teachers was flawless.

Instructional Technology Specialist 

Our district uses Seesaw as it's primary communication medium between parents and teachers.

Family Involvement Coordniator

I like that it is well known, a free app for parents, and that it gives a great avenue to keep parents up to date.

coordinator of Innovation

It is babyish for older students.   although advertised, it is not really usable with middle and high school students.   

I wish it had a better look and that you could have an admin log in on the app.

It is helpful that parents only get to see their child's work to protect the privacy of the rest of the classroom.
