I absolutely appreciate being able to post grades, attendance, lesson plans and the ability to send emails to parents and entire classes. It makes communication easily accessible for everyone on their own time schedule.

I dislike that their are many times access to RenWeb on an iPad is limited or won’t work. Often pages will not pull up, and if you have limited access to the internet, it can be unusable.

Must always have access to your desktop (easier to fully implement or always have internet connection.

One of the biggest issues in schools in communication between the parent and teacher. Often parents must rely on their child for updates on grades or what is due in the near future. RenWeb alleviates that issue and gives us an opportunity to work as a team for the benefit of the students we work with.

When a child is absent, they can access lesson plans if the teacher and/or school utilize this option. Grades can be posted even before papers are passed back. The greatest asset of this program is instant access to an ever demanding clientele.

As a user/adminstrator, I like that you can view students by grade, teacher, homeroom, schedule, as well as students' contact information. Renweb is a great resource for front office staff who regularly make changes and update contact information. In the academic setting, users will make the most use out of Renweb.

I honestly do not like the email feature on Renweb. When you click the email tab, it opens up whatever your predesignated browser is to the email features. This feature seems a bit outdated and tiresome to click and drag recipients of the email. I am sure there is a way to link it to Outlook, but I have not figured that out.

I would recommend having someone more experienced with RenWeb to walk you through the various features enough times for you to feel confident using email and viewing student information. It is crucial to have student lists, but I could not figure out how to do that without consulting and I have used RenWeb for a year and a half.

RenWeb is a major solution for organizing student data, contact information, grades, attendance, schedules, and running reports. While I do not utilize all of those features, I have become more familiarized with RenWeb for it to be very useful. I am not sure how I would function as a school counselor without it. The benefits are that you can access cumulative information without pulling the student's folder.

RenWeb's outstanding customer service and technical help enables us to use their product well. Every aspect of our school is managed by the integrated services RenWeb provides. They are extremely responsive to feedback and implement suggestions made by their end users. The on-site training Conferences have been a highlight of my professional development as an Admissions Director. They are committed to excellence in their product, people, and customer relationships.

Sometimes the learning curve for new products is steep, but the training and support make the transitions easier.

Highly recommend RenWeb to schools looking for a system that can be used by multiple departments needing to access the same information.

Tracking Admissions from inquiry to enrolled students. I am able to create detailed reports for our school Board easily and in real time.

I love how everything is in one place and is easy to navigate.

Uploading lesson plans. Typing in lesson plans piece by piece is generally not realistic. The process for uploading and viewing lesson plans created outside of RenWeb needs to be easier.

RenWeb is constantly improving and they have greta tools! Be aware of which components are most valuable to your school and price-check first. Some additional components are quite costly for small schools.

Communication, management of staff, parent information, attendance, food management, and much more! Our school enjoys the benefits of simple, fast communication both between staff members and also with our school families.

I love the accessibility of student information--being able to communicate teacher to parent is tremendously helpful. It also improves student progress as parents have a way to check and balance assignments, progress, and teacher communication.

The RenWeb App and RenWeb desktop screens are COMPLETELY different. In some instances, there are options on the app that are not in even a remotely similar place on the desktop version. This makes it difficult for parents to sometimes find the needed information quickly (or at all!. It can also impair communication between the teacher/parent if the parent is trying to get RenWeb assistance.

RenWeb is an excellent solution for parent/teacher/school communication and sharing of documents, grades, resources, information, and even payment/billing information. We love it. It makes day to day life easier! I can't imagine how difficult communication would be without RenWeb. Having the app makes it so useful and easily accessible.

RenWeb is a solution for the "homework list" and classroom resources. Teachers may upload reference documents for the entire term, weekly assignments under subjects or courses, and the school can provide schedules, announcements, and even snow day information. There is also a directory for those that participate as well as an option to pay a bill or add lunch money to a student account. RenWeb creates one family account for multiple students.

I love that RenWeb automates everything for me.

Updates are not always the best - they take a while to get used to and seem to need a lot of feedback and suggestion to get it to where it's usable again.

Everything is automated and available to those who need to view it - other staff members, administration, parents, students... Everyone who needs information can see it, according to the amount of information they need to see. I can email groups of people, I can see my student's gradebook average, I can see how my whole class did on an assignment - this system really allows me to function efficiently as a teacher.

Student application, registration, grading, attendance, counseling, behavior, finances, and staff HR, can all be done through RenWeb. RenWeb also syncs up with Moodle, Canvas, Overgrad, and Facts tuition.

Customization can get expensive and the lesson planning is quite basic.

All of our student information needs are easily addressed with RenWeb.
