SASI isn't designed to work with GradeQuick. Basically if you have
SASI you're supposed to use ClassXP for attendance and InteGrade Pro
for your gradebook... they're all products from Pearson Digital.
SASI's a great admin program, but it doesn't play nice with other
companies and as far as I know it's impossible to get SASI and GQ to
work together. It's even a hassle to get SASI to work with SNAP, our
nursing program, which isn't even a competitor of Pearson. There is a
way to export rosters from SASI to GQ, but that's about it... you
won't be able to send anything from GQ to SASI-- no grades, no
attendance. We bought SASI last year to replace Administrator's Plus,
from Rediker Software. I spent a few months trying to get GQ and SASI
to work... I finally gave up and this year I forced my teachers to use
Integrade Pro. I've never used Edline and don't know much about it,
but I can pretty much guarantee it won't work with SASI since it isn't
a Pearson Digital product.
Thomas,
Thank you for telling me the truth. I am just a teacher but was the
primary force behind getting GQ. Last year on my school network we were
able to rosters and classes by cuting and pasting from SASI to GQ. The
GQ people promised the software necessary to do grade transfers. All
that was involved was matching the columns in GQ to those in SASI. My
principal never allowed me to do that so I don't know how difficult it
would have been. I teach in Arkansas and know of at least 3 large school
districts using GQ with their admin program with great results. None of
them use SASI though.
Did you talk with the GQ technical people? They had to talk me through
the cutting and pasting and sent written descriptions as well before I
was able to get rosters and classes to transfer from SASI to GQ. I am
also wondering if InteGrade Pro is a good program and is it expensive.
Regards,
Richard Emmel
