RVS GradeBook seamlessly integrates with RVS SchoolTools, your student information management system. This web–based application provides secure access to assignment and grading information anytime, from anywhere.

We believe taking advantage of this software tool represents a cost–effective use of technology to improve accountability, communication and efficiency within your school community.

Our goal is to provide a robust application that closes the communication gaps between parents, students and educators, thereby improving the educational experience for all.

More Effective Stewardship of Grading Information by Teachers

Teachers get up and running quickly, with class rosters created for them through RVS SchoolTools. They can define weighted assignment categories, grading scales and an unlimited number of assignments. Academic grades are automatically calculated for each term as homework, quizzes and test scores are recorded.

Teachers are able to override the calculated grades as appropriate and to enter additional personal development marks for each reporting period. The many summary and detail reports available within GradeBook strengthen accountability for student performance.

Engaged, Informed Parents Reinforce Instruction

But even more important than GradeBook’s flexibility and ease of use by educators is the fact that RVS GradeBook helps to achieve one of the primary goals of NCLB: to increase parental involvement.

Parents no longer have to wait for midterm progress reports or report cards to find out about missed assignments or falling grades. They can see exactly what scores their child has received so far – and what’s coming in the future. Studies show that this type of early participation (and intervention) can positively impact math and reading scores.

Shared Responsibility and Data–Driven Decision Making

We all have busy schedules and often find it difficult to connect by phone or in person. Because RVS GradeBook is “always on”, it is a communications tool that can be used at a time that’s most convenient to each user.

Features like the built–in messaging system strengthen partnerships, allowing parents/students, teachers and administrators to easily communicate with each other. Greater access to information and feedback leads to proactive support and encouragement of the child’s learning as evidenced by higher grades and test scores.

We invite you to join the growing number of schools that have embraced this important strategy to leverage technology and the use of data to improve instruction. Find out for yourself how RVS GradeBook can change the way EVERYONE looks at grading at your school.
