In order to learn more about our Student Information System and EMIS I asked our testing coordinator, Jill Elliott, who works in the district’s Central Office to fill out a Google Form answering some of the questions on the district’s SIS and EMIS. Jill stated that in Gahanna we use “eSchool as our Student Information System. eSchool is a Sungard product and is a part of a suite of programs that we use.” I was aware that we used eSchool as our Student Information System but did not realize that it was part of a larger group of programs we utilize within our district.

The other programs offered include PerformancePLUS …show more content…

Both of these programs help aid in instruction, but especially PerformancePLUS because it shows the test results for students from kindergarten to present day, including standardized tests, common assessments, and reading benchmark assessments given throughout each year.

Furthermore, Jill stated that administrators, teachers, and parents all have access to eSchool but on varying levels. I know that teachers are limited to viewing information only on the subjects that they teach while administrators have access to all grades and …show more content…

William sat on the edge of his seat and listened to Jeanette explain the organizational structure of Beacon Academy. “Beacon Academies are charter schools; we are accountable only to the state granting the charter, and a national board of directors. As charter schools, we are schools of choice - we derive our students from a variety of public school districts. If accepted, students who choose Beacon Academy sign a contract that commits them to the principles and operating conditions of the Beacon Academy enterprise. Our long-term goal is nothing short of a complete revolution of America’s system of compulsory public education that is determined based on student residency.
