single sign on feature, everything in one place. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
not being able to see the total count of students after I take attendance.
with admin access I would like to be able to view teachers gradebooks instead of looking up students individually to see what their grades are in the class. I am an ESE support teacher and it would help me a lot to see the grades of the students I support by seeing the teacher's gradebook.
Some data can be consolidated. The emails for parents can be found in multiple locations. Should be in just one place. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
FOCUS is very user friendly and provides the ability to maintain student, user and teacher information all in one area. You can access student records, staff/user credentials, and teacher schedules all at the click of a button. Advanced reports can be created and modified to fit the data you need. It's simple to walk through and offers multiple options to maintain all your student / school records in one place. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
At times, due to all the information that FOCUS can provide, it looks a bit overwhelming. There are many sections and links to get to areas that could be more simplified. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
I like being able to grade from anywhere. I also like being able to have multiple tabs of the program open in order to quickly switch from attendance to grades. I like having the classroom log feature to keep track of my communication with parents and students. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
Focus seems like a grade portal with hidden treasures. So hidden that they never get used. While I like being able to grade from anywhere, I do think that it's time for a system facelift. Maybe it's just the version my school district uses, but it does look outdated. From my use of the system it appears that you can assign students assignments. I am still unsure of how to use this element of the program. There are also some features that aren't as clear to use, like submitting a grade change request. I do wish everything was laid out a bit better, but I think since the system has been used for so long it would probably take a substantial amount of effort to rehaul the system, have a group of users test it out and get the kinks out, then transfer the old data to the new system. Overall Focus works, but it does leave more to be desired. My wishlist would include a classroom log that could maybe import files from other programs like maybe class dojo or emails. A cleaner, straight to the point way of updating a grade. Lastly, I am not sure what the parents see, but is there an app for parents/students? If not, one would definitely help. Many of my students come from homes with either no computer in them or limited functioning internet capable devices. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
I like that there are so many features and functions such as pulling attendance, present and past enrollments, disciplinary referrals, grades, and statewide assessments. As an administrator, I am able to see very involved data about students academic records. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
As an another user stated, the website is not customizable. I am not one for the aesthetic presence, but there are a few things about the layout I would change if possible. The website can be a little finicky when you hover the mouse over what you want and can easily go away if you slightly move the cursor. It seems too clustered.

Adoro o layout da página inicial. Tenho os aniversários dos alunos à extrema direita e os programas em destaque no meio, com a minha seção "encontrar um aluno" à esquerda. No topo, tenho minhas abas para coisas como horários, notas, avaliações, frequência, relatórios, etc. Os ícones ao lado de cada aluno ajudam a identificá-los com base em necessidades individuais, por exemplo, se são SPED, ESL/LEP, em risco, 504, GT, alerta médico, a lista continua, é tão simples quanto memorizar o significado de cada ícone. Você tem várias maneiras de encontrar o que está procurando a partir de diferentes telas também. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
Eu não gosto de não poder personalizar minha tela. Embora eu goste de ver de quem é o aniversário assim que faço login na tela inicial, temos mais de 1.200 alunos no meu campus, dos quais sou responsável por apenas 390. Seria bom saber quantos dos meus alunos do 12º ano têm aniversários naquela semana em comparação com toda a escola. Em segundo lugar, não uso todos os programas em destaque, então poder retirar alguns dos que não preciso e abrir espaço para os programas que uso diariamente, como presença, notas e informações dos alunos, seria incrível. Outra coisa que odeio é ser desconectado toda vez que fico inativo por mais de 3-4 minutos. Embora haja um botão de "Ajuda" que podemos clicar, ele é praticamente inútil, pois são apenas artigos. Um agente de chat ao vivo seria ótimo! Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
Keep all student data in one place. It's also easy to put in grades and take attendance. The notifications when you first sign in is also very helpful. I always forget to take attendance and it's the first thing I see so I always do that when I sign in. I also really like how I can do my lesson plans on Focus.

There are a lot of tabs so it gets confusing. Also, do grade configurations is a little confusing as well. I feel like there are too many options for a lot of simple things. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
O sistema era bom para colocar notas. Aprendi a amá-lo eventualmente. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
O sistema travou muito. O atendimento ao cliente era quase impossível de contatar. Não havia muitas pessoas disponíveis para ajudar a resolver problemas. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
I like the snapshot information I can get in each section or categoy for each individual student. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
I don't like that the schedule shown is not providing me with a "real-time". For instance, if a student is in 4th period, it would be nice if that line was highlighted. Análise coletada por e hospedada no G2.com.
