Overall Satisfaction with Veracross

Our school uses Veracross for faculty, parent, and student portals. Teachers can take attendance, post assignments, record grades, and make announcements. Parents can view the calendar, check students grades and reports, and get important messages from the teachers. Students rely on it as a way to check homework assignments and current class grades. Veracross keeps track of the school calendar and school directory as well as other things.

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • 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.
  • Not sure, but our school has been using it for years, so it must be worth it. Veracross is good about updating and adding features.
As a parent I remember when this was RenWeb. The school used it for communication. Veracross can do the communication things that RenWeb did. I am more familiar now with Veracross.
Inspire, iMovie
Veracross is great to use for a grade book and a place to post assignments and give feedback. The calendar is informative, but not useful for scheduling appointments. Overall, it is most used for attendance tracking.
