School2000 follow a policy of continuos development working with partner schools who wish to work with us, participate and guide us. Some of the following enhancements were introduced in the recent past. Some enhancement are presently being introduced. We would like to keep on improving School2000 and keep introducing new modules. We invite interested schools to participate as partners. Text in black are enhancements already installed and working. Text in blue (below) are under development, some under installation

  • Behaviour2000 is a module that allows teachers to enter merits and concerns about the students during period/subject registration. Teachers can also see merits and concerns entered by other teachers. More than 80 reports are provided for analyses.

  • We developed Consortium2000 on the request of Isleworth & Syon school, Hounslow, London. You may contact Linda Simms, Deputy Head for further information. This project was funded by the Learning Skills Council. Seven schools in their consortium share students with each others. Attendance of shared students entered on consortium schools appear on the attendance in the main school of each student. The update takes place over the Internet. A gateway server is used for communication between schools. It works over each school's firewall and proxy servers without any configuration changes.

  • Headline Figures was added to Assessment Analysis to identify student's performance not just based on the external examinations but on class test as well. Each class teacher can flag any test/column on a mark sheet and it will calculate the Head line figures based on each teacher's selection.

  • Homework2000 was introduced on the request of Manchester Mesivta School (formerly Manchester Jewish Grammar school). Mr. Phaivish Pink, Headmaster, wanted parents to have access to their children's homework over the Telephone/Internet in English and Hebrew. School2000 now allows homework assignments to be recorded by teachers from any PC or telephone extension in the schools or from telephone outside the school, so parents (and students) can listen to homework assignments by dialling School2000 from any telephone

  • Telecall2000 was introduced to support telephone interface for parents who do not have/like/want/use Internet. Telecall2000 is not suited where there is a lot of interaction. It is a however a good way to deliver attendance, grades and homework over telephones in different languages

  • Canteen2000 is a system that manages sales from the school's canteen.
      • Supports multiple and distributed terminals over the schools network
      • Shares the database with School2000, SIMS and CMIS
      • Each terminal contains a touch screen monitor, fingerprint reader for student identification and an optional barcode reader
      • Parents can access their children's purchases on the Internet
      • Parents can deny items that contains beef, port, nuts, allergens and excess salt or sugar. When students try to purchase items that are denied by their parents, the terminal initiates a warning, an alert is sent to their parents
      • Cash can be loaded to the system using a Money Loader or can be entered manually by an admin staff.
      • School/Parent can specify how much a student can spend per day. Free meal cap can also be specified.
The following are developed and are being installed.
It will be ready for installation and commercial use in the near future
  • Accounts2000 is a subsystem that manages the school's accounts
      • Budgets, Carry-forward from the previous year can be integrated
      • Financial transaction can be entered fro any networked PC by authorised users
      • As transactions are completed the system updates budgets, ledgers, sub-ledgers and balance available
      • Alerts inform appropriate staff when expenses/balances exceed alert-levels

  • Teachers2000 is a module that teachers can use to manage their lesson plans
      • Teachers can import lesson plans from the Internet and other teachers, modify and store them
      • Teachers can also enter Class-tests and Homework in advance, which are released on planned dates
      • Optionally parents and students can be given access to lesson-plans over the Internet, for self preparation

  • E-Learning2000 is a subsystem that provides supplementary/independent learning
      • Students can register and learn lessons over the Internet
      • Students learn one lesson at a time and participate in on-line tests, which determine their understanding.
      • Parents can access how their children are learning and access the test results for analysis
      • Parts of this technique was funded by the Learning Skills Council when we taught foreign languages over the Internet
      • We propose to offer this in different languages so students who are not familiar with English can learn the lesson in their preferred language and after understanding the lesson, learn it again in English
