Making Attendance a Priority

With PDE support, Focus School Software partnered with eScholar and Upper St. Clair School District to develop an alternate submission method for PIMS collections. The initial goal of the project was to save the PIMS Administrator time by eliminating repetitive tasks, but ultimately the goal is to shorten (and close the loop) on extended state-level validations. During this session we'll explore and share how oversight and management of PIMS submissions can be supercharged from a district's perspective.
