Hi Everyone,

I know this topic has been covered before but programs are constantly changing so I am posing this question for today.
We are a new school with approximately 30 students for the upcoming school year.  We are looking for an SIS that would function like Powerschool (attendance, grade book, report cards, transcripts, course management...)  and we would also love something that syncs with Google Classroom.
We are looking for a lower-cost option.
If anyone has advice or experience in this area please feel free to respond or email me directly: echa...@chavivahighschool.org

Thank you!

Elissa Chanales
Assistant Principal,

Check out Alma (http://www.getalma.com/). It checks all of your boxes and is very intuitive. I don't currently use it but my previous school is switching to it after we spent two years evaluating many options.

Sorry, that's what I have off the top of my head

Thank you.  Alma seems pricy for a small school at $4500 for the year.
I am waiting to see what Classe365 offers.  Do you know schools that use it?

Reach out to them. Their customer service is great and for a school of your size, they should come down in price. It also depends which packages you want included.

The one school I had using classe365 sadly closed doors permanently due to quarantine putting the last nail in the financial coffin.

Nachi is spot on!
Alma is very customizable and relatively inexpensive. It connects directly with Schoology and with GC.  They have a scheduler you can add, an admissions piece, a business office, etc. but you only pay for what you need. The schools I spoke to that are using it are very happy with it. 

Look into it!
