The school admin can define hourly rates as well as discounted packages for students/parents to purchase online. Once purchased, the school admin can then assign the student to a specific tutor, who will then perform the lesson. The tutor can then record completed lessons (and hours) online for students/parents to review.

More info coming soon.

We just released a few minor improvements to the Lunch Ordering app in order to support a new and improved PDF Template for the Lunch Roster PDF. If you have installed the “PDF Templates” App (currently in Beta), you can now select the “New Lunch Roster Report” PDF template. This template allows you to include additional pages for (1) Teacher Orders and (2) Summary of Orders, as well as show/hide Homeroom details.

The Lunch Roster PDF now sorts pages by Grade Level, and sorts columns by Meal Sort Order too. Check out these apps on our QuickSchools App Store:
