- Normally it has everything I need for my work, today I was able to make a video call and chat from my cell phone and this adds more positive points to Veracross.

Expensive, but worth it... take the long view of your data
- mobile-friendly portal for staffulty, parents, and students
- built-in or easy-to-configure integration with other systems (for example, RankOne and Naviance)
- targeted messaging based on data within the system
- "where is student now?" is one-click away
- it's easy to get data OUT of Veracross but their data import features could use some improvement
- they recently changed their knowledge management and help desk system and are still experiencing some growing pains with that platform (for example, I believe that any error message a system throws should be easily and readily searchable in the KB; that is not currently the case)
- it's early but we've identified some inconsistencies in some displays and while many displays offer a field to specify the sort order, some important ones (teacher schedule, for example) do not and it's a lot of cognitive load to decipher some of those (seemingly unsorted) screens. Sorting by an internal ID field that is not controllable, not editable, and not over ridable (with a sort key) is a poor choice.

- Student and family data is easy to keep up to date. And there is so much data that you can keep track of. It is so helpful to have all data in one place so we don’t have a human error in transfers g to another system.
- Recording donations is very easy and you can attach backup documents very easy which is great during our yearly audit. All records are in the system and can be pulled at anytime.
- Easy for parents to sign in to view and edit their own information as well as view student reports.
- In the development module, it is often hard to pull reports because there are so many ways to do it. I work around that by saving reports I often pull so I don’t have to constantly rebuild reports.
- The communications module, Composer, needs a major upgrade. It is not very user-friendly and there are not ways to edit or design modern and good-looking emails and newsletters. Not a lot of formatting options.

Veracross does a lot!
- Streamlined and easy to read design
- Simple and intuitive ways to contact entire classes and groups
- Grade reporting is simple and automatically saves any comments I've written as I write
- The main school calendar is synced with Veracross' home page calendar to assist in planning
- Veracross does not allow teachers to see report cards from previous years.
- There is no functionality to email multiple classes the same thing. I need to click on each class to send the same parent email.
- It is difficult to find how many times a student has been absent or tardy within the trimester or year. A significant amount of digging is required.

Veracross for Teachers
- Grades-Real time data about grades for students, parents, and teachers.
- Directory-Easy to find information about students and faculty in one place.
- Calendar-Easy to check on school events and other activities.
- Homework assignments-I wish that you could duplicate assignments for different sections of a class. As it is now, you have to enter it separately.
- The library feature is difficult for some teachers to manage.
- The class website isn't as easy to use as some other programs.

- It seems to have an unlimited amount of storage.
- There is almost nothing it won't do.
- My biggest concern is that it is not particularly intuitive so it can be hard to remember how to do things you don't do often.
