If keeping past student’s address and contact information up to date
is a
constant problem at your school, the new TASS Past Students
Portal
and Past Students.web
may be the solution.
Your schools past students can now update their own details across the
Internet with TASS Past Students Portal. The
changes do not directly update the database - the details are presented
for school administration staff to overview before being committed to
the database.
TASS Past Students Portal also allows former students to
keep informed about what is happening at the school by accessing the online
calendar.
Past students can also access contact information for other students in
their Alumni/Alumnae years. Students who do not wish their details to
be made available can be omitted.
TASS Past Students.web module allows information to be transferred from the Student Records module to provide a comprehensive Past Student database.
The extra-curricular activities that students were involved in whilst at school can be transferred or added later for past students who were at the school before TASS was installed.
A new grid style of data maintenance provides ‘spreadsheet’ style review and editing where the checking and updating of multiple records is required.
The new notes facility in Past Students.web allows the categorisation of notes and the attachment of electronic documents (such as Word® or PDF documents). As an example, newspaper articles featuring past students could be scanned and attached to the past student record.
A simple to use Word® or email merge facility is available to create targeted correspondence such as newsletters and invites to reunions.
