About This Automation

Student records and progress tracking involves collecting attendance, grades, behaviour notes, and assessment data from multiple sources and consolidating them into individual progress reports for parents. Manual compilation is time-consuming, error-prone, and delays report delivery by 10-14 days.

Automation collects all student data through a single submission form, consolidates it into a master record, generates formatted progress reports automatically, and distributes them to parents via email. Reports are delivered in 2-3 days with fewer errors.

Consolidate data from multiple sources into a single master student record

Identify and flag missing or incomplete data automatically within 24 hours

Generate formatted progress reports with calculated summaries and consistent layout

Convert reports to PDF and distribute to parents automatically via email
