F.A.Q.

4Schools is not built for specialists in the field of computer science. Our priority is facilitating your needs. It is designed to work on any computer or device that is connected to the internet and does not require specialised knowledge in computer use. You will be surprised to see how simple and easy-to-use this programme is.

F.A.Q.
How can we generate special reports for our school?

 

4Schools has hundreds of sample reports you can run that cover the majority of needs of a typical educational organisation. Moreover, our strong report generator allows you to edit and adjust each default report according to your needs.

However, if you still need a specialized service, the development department can create a custom report especially for you at a reasonable price.

Is the installation of 4Schools easy? We do not have the time or the experience to spend weeks setting up software or in customising it and adjusting it to the way that our school works.

 

4Schools installation is a very simple process. We do all the work related to the initial system customisation for your educational organisation. Thus, you can be freed to focus on providing the concrete information on your student body, parents and teachers, enabling the beginning of the productive operations of the system to come as soon as possible.

I want to have full control of my school at all times and track how my teachers are working as well as how their students are progressing. What tools does 4Schools offer to help me with this?

 

With 4Schools, you can grant teachers access to the system so they can upload everything related to their work: their progress in the syllabus, the educational material, their students’ grades and absences, comments on students’ progress and anything else that is relevant to your organisation.

At the same time, you, as the school’s manager, have a complete image on demand of all inputs made by teachers and their overall work, while parents, students, the secretarial staff and whoever else needs to be informed can receive updates.

Using our programmes, you will create a digital online educational experience for your organisation that exceeds your parents’, students’ and teachers’ expectations.

Our school is already computerised. Our data is in word files, grades are in excel files, applications are scanned and the secretaries have separate files with all the contact information we need. Why would I need 4Schools?  

 

This is actually not the optimal way to organise a modern school. Information that is scattered among files with no clear classification or hierarchy, where each area or individual keeps separate information in a separate way and everything is stored in different locations results in chaos.

4Schools can help you establish processes that users often do not develop themselves. All of your data for your organisation can be digitised and organised, to be stored in the same location, so that you are always in control and you can create become the organisation that your school needs.

Using 4Schools, all your data will be accessible from everywhere. Naturally, this will be done within a strict system of rights and roles, so that everything is viewable only by those who need to see it. You will be able to carry out tasks that once were only possible at your school from anywhere.

Last but not least, with 4Schools you can become a member of a supremely innovative group teachers’ team, benefiting from the accumulated experience of EPAFOS’s support team, bringing you can have professional support from our specialised workers over the entire year.
