At the same time it increases student accountability, resulting in improved grades. Information from the electronic grade books is translated into phone messages, which the teacher can choose to send out as an automatic telephone call or have placed in a voice mailbox for a parent to retrieve at a later time. TA allows messages to be sent in either English or Spanish with options for additional languages. RA phone registration streamlines the process of registering students for classes and eases the task of administering registration. It eliminates the need for numerous meetings and a myriad of written documents.
Administrators load the system with class schedules and registration rules.
Students use any touch-tone phone to select their classes and, when necessary, may change their schedule as many times as required. Automated registration with RA treats everyone equally - no favorites, no discrimination. It facilitates parental involvement in student class selection and student and parent satisfaction with the results increases substantially. Core requirements, prerequisites, pathways and tentative schedules are supported. They can be transferred into the RA or can be entered directly.
