How time flies when you\u2019re having a good time!<\/em><\/p>\n

We started our journey a mere month ago. Ready with our roll bags in hand, backpacks, laptops and not to forget, some chocolate bars, we headed off to our first out of 8 exciting conferences.<\/p>\n

Marking our first pit stop in North Carolina, we made our way up and down the country and made our final conference stop in Florida – and that\u2019s only half the story.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick look at the conferences we attended :<\/p>\n

Oct 25th<\/sup> \u2013 27th<\/sup>, NCAEE 2009 Conference
\nNorth Carolina Association of Elementary Educators<\/p>\n

Oct 29th<\/sup> \u2013 30th<\/sup>,\u00a0FACCS \/ IACCS 2009
\nFlorida Association of Christian Colleges & Schools<\/p>\n

Nov 2nd<\/sup>,\u00a0VAIS 2009
\nVirginia Association of Independent Schools<\/p>\n

Nov 5th<\/sup> \u2013 6th<\/sup>, ISACS 2009 Annual Conference
\nIndependent Schools Association of the Central States<\/p>\n

Nov 9th<\/sup>, AIMS Annual Fall Conference
\nAssociation of Independent Maryland Schools<\/p>\n

Nov 12th<\/sup> \u2013 13th<\/sup>, FLOCS\/ACTS National Educators Conference
\nFlorida League of Christian Schools<\/p>\n

Nov 16th<\/sup> \u2013 17th<\/sup>, CAIRS 25th Annual Conference
\nConference for Administrators of Independent and Religious Schools<\/p>\n

Nov 19th<\/sup> \u2013 20th<\/sup>,\u00a0FCIS 54th Annual Convention
\nFlorida Council of Independent Schools<\/p>\n

There\u2019s just so much to talk about that fitting it all in 1 blogpost would not do justice, so we\u2019re going to break it up into 2 parts and this shall be named Part 1 : The Journey, The Adventure<\/em><\/p>\n

We had a vision and with that we went on a mission.<\/p>\n

Vision<\/strong>
\nThat all small schools out there will be able to run and manage their school using a comprehensive and complete school management system that is specially designed based on their needs.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Mission<\/strong>
\nTo introduce and spread the word about QuickSchools to all these small schools and to let them know that they don\u2019t have to invest heavily in a software (or bulky hardware) to manage their school excellently.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

This was our second year at some of the conferences and this time we brought along something special for the conference participants (and everyone else for the matter) – A new, FREE plan called the\u00a0Iris Plan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Iris plan hosts the basic features that ALL schools need: student tracking and fee tracking features.\u00a0This plan is a gift because we came across quite a number of schools that need just the basics to manage their schools well. The Iris plan is free forever!\u00a0We even had a little something for those who were not looking for a school management system for their school, gift ‘songket’ boxes!<\/p>\n

To be continued –\u00a0Part 2 : The Journey, The Adventure<\/em>
\nIn the next post we’ll share some pictures that we took at the conferences – so look out! you might be in them \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
