What does the beta gradebook handle?
Basic grade entry by subject and term, simple report card generation, and teacher comments. It fits elementary settings and schools with straightforward grading — the operational basics, honestly scoped.
Can it produce official transcripts?
No. Cumulative GPAs, credits, class rank, and transcript-ready records are the domain of a full SIS like Gradelink or FACTS. 613OS integrates via roster sync so the SIS owns academics while 613OS runs enrollment, tuition, communications, and fundraising.
Which schools is the beta gradebook right for?
Preschools through elementary grades, and mesivtas that keep limudei kodesh evaluations simple. High schools that issue transcripts should keep a dedicated SIS for academics — we say this plainly because honest scoping beats overselling.
Do grades connect to parent communication?
Yes. Report cards deliver to the family portal and by email, and grade-related notes can trigger parent messages — keeping families informed without a separate login or paper going home in backpacks.
