What do you like best about Alma SIS?

Alma is easy to navigate. I like being able to not have to refer to pages of notes when I go to add the next school year. Every year and many times throughout the year they are adding new features and continuing to improve what they already have. I like being able to send out an email to all students and parents without having to log into my email. When I send out report cards parents can respond to that email and let me know if they have any concerns or questions. Customer service has always been great and respond in a timely manner!

I appreciate the easy way to input your information and the organization of data. Changes are easily done and the support is highly efficient you can easily copy curriculum and assignments from one class to another Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alma SIS?

I dislike nothing major. I would appreciate if there could be a faster way to input student grades with one save bottom at the end of the class instead of saving each grade alone. Also the day refers to one hour even though I have 2 hours per day Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took a bit of time to learn all the bells and whistles- but that can be expected from any new software. I expect to navigate it with ease this second year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for the review!

I also wanted to let you a know a solution to email back-ups. There is button you can check in Alma which sends you a copy of each email. Hope that helps!
