The Spiral Experience

	Students Younger generations have grown up with computers, so managing schoolwork online is easy and effective for students. Through their Spiral accounts, students can view daily and long-term assignments, download the resources they need, then submit their work electronically. They can check their performance online and communicate with teachers, allowing them to monitor their progress and be accountable for their own educations. In order to stay on top of their events, courses, and commitments, students can check class schedules in real time, and manage and share multiple calendars.
	Parents Parental involvement is one of the foremost factors in student success. Every parent has a personal Spiral account, through which they can stay involved with their children’s education and keep track of their progress. Our platform’s design is intuitive and easy to use, so all parents, regardless of technological dexterity, can reap the benefits of the Spiral community. Periodic progress reports show parents their children’s grades, so they can identify problems early on. Each parent receives a full-featured Spiral email account, which allows them to communicate with teachers by sending messages using a pre-populated Address Book. Parents can view calendars in order to keep an eye on upcoming commitments and coordinate their children’s activities. They can also easily handle any financial transactions by paying tuition bills or other expenses online.
	Teachers Spiral’s Gradebook relieves teachers’ workloads and makes their lives easier, saving time and allowing them to work wherever they choose. Through the Gradebook, they can create and upload assignments and quizzes in a variety of formats. The Gradebook calculates and records grades according to teachers’ exact specifications and sends final grades to administrators at the end of the term. Every morning, teachers can take attendance in a one-click process. Our many user-friendly tools make communicating with parents, teachers, and administrators a simple task. The calendar shows teachers all the important dates they need to keep track of, such as marking periods, meetings, and conferences.
	Administrators Spiral handles hundreds of tasks for administrators, helping schools run smoothly. All schools using Spiral will significantly reduce the exorbitant costs incurred through printing and mailing thousands of reports, assignments, and forms. Simple calendars share important administrative dates and school-wide events with students and staff. Spiral’s scheduler takes into account the dozens of factors every administrator must analyze and generates a conflict-free schedule. Spiral streamlines end-of-term grade reporting processes, sending grades from teachers to administrators, who review, approve, and print or electronically transmit report cards. Spiral’s email accounts help administrators keep track of a large amount of correspondence, and our secure storage system keeps massive amounts of files organized and well-protected.
	IT Directors Spiral’s platform incorporates every feature into one comprehensive experience, eliminating both the headache of maintaining physical equipment as well as the need for multiple software programs that can’t communicate and share information easily with each other. Spiral is Web-based, so there are no incompatibility issues with browsers or computers. Your school’s internet connection is all you need. Far less time is spent training teachers and reading thick user manuals because Spiral’s technology is so intuitive. Your entire school can save files to their personal storage folders, and access them from any location. For every module, security is tight, and only those authorized to view sensitive information are granted access, so student information is private. Our data is backed up every hour and kept safe in a heavily protected facility with 24/7 security personnel, biometric fingerprint readers, cameras, motion detecting sensors, climate control, and an extensive alarm system. Spiral reduces exposure to inappropriate or unlawful activities within the school's community members by strictly enforcing role-based access to data and system features, keeping a log of all critical changes to school data, and carefully separating school data from the personal information and private communications between community members.
