We have a new Student Emergency Contacts report available in Quickschools. This report will assist in reviewing the emergency contacts available in your account and in gathering their information.

There are two variations to this report: “Emergency Contacts by Parent” and the “Emergency Contacts by Student”.

Both of these reports include the following lists:

• Only Show Students with ONE Emergency Contact
• Only Show Students with MORE THAN ONE Emergency Contact
• Only Show Students WITHOUT an Emergency Contact

Here’s what the reports look like:

We’ve just enabled a new report in QuickSchools that allows you to see all current subjects for the active semester:

Existing Summary Reports take into account whether a student is enrolled into the subject. In this report, all subjects will be displayed regardless of whether students are enrolled.

Subjects will be sorted by their Grade Level. NOTE: If you find that the grade levels are not sorted the way you want then, be sure to Configure your Grade Levels from the Students Listing:

As with any organization, employees (including teachers) come and go. When a teacher resigns (and is deactivated from your QuickSchools account), the teacher record is retained and remains linked to all subjects that the teacher taught. This is obviously helpful for historical records. So just because a teacher resigns, we still keep track of the courses and grades linked to that teacher.

But what happens if a teacher resigns during an active term?

Typically, subjects assigned to resigned teachers would be re-assigned to an active teacher. But depending on circumstances, school administrators may not update the subjects in QuickSchools in real time. So here we’ve built a new report that identifies active subjects linked to resigned teachers. This new report called the “Active Subjects/Lessons with Resigned Teachers” is available under “Summary Reports”:

Active Subjects/Lessons with Resigned Teachers Report

This report ONLY lists active courses linked to resigned teachers. However, there is a filter to determine whether the course is “Active” or “Orphaned”. An “Active” course is essentially a course that has been successfully re-linked to an active teacher. While an “Orphaned” course is only linked to a resigned teacher, and needs to be re-linked to an active teacher.

Although Summary Reports are pre-configured to contain preset columns and filters, the reporting tool itself can be quite powerful. So if you’re looking for a report that you’re unable to create on your own via the Report Creator, you can always commission QuickSchools to build a custom report that appears in the Summary Reports. 

Here’s an example taken from language schools that need to convert 3 tardies to 1 absent. The “Absences with Tardies” Summary Report that we built consolidates all absences and tardies using the conversion described above: 

The report contains columns for Number of Absent, Number of Tardy and Total Absent which includes the converted Tardies.

We recently published an article describing the difference between Summary Reports and the Report Creator. And it’s worth noting that with Summary Reports, the goal is to address a specific scenario. Or use case within your daily use of QuickSchools. So we thought we’d start highlighting some of these scenarios in a new category within our blog. This new “Summary Reports” category is linked below:

So with this new category, we’ll be highlighting specific reports (some of which will be new) that address a specific use case within your daily use of QuickSchools. For example, below is a previous article on how to access the Reference Numbers when inviting parents to fill in an Online Form submission:

We’ll have some new highlights coming up soon. Please feel free to suggest any particular scenario that you’re looking to have a report on.
