The foundation modules below are where most private-school operations start: Admissions, SIS, Gradebook, tuition & billing, health & medical records, school store, communication, event registration, donations & fundraising, QuickBooks accounting, uniform exchange, and athletics eligibility & workflows. Your campus may run more on top of this base over time.
Where most SIS platforms fall short — and where ANNASIS is built to be different — is putting event registration, school ecommerce, athletics and sports, forms and approval workflows, the school store, and uniform exchange in the same system. Some peers cover one or two of those jobs; few cover all of them without a bolt-on stack.
1. Admissions
Inquiry, online application, enrollment, and re-enrollment — one Admissions pipeline with configurable application forms. Embed Apply on the website you already have.
Enrollment packets can collect waivers and consents on the same student and family system. Families do not leave the school site to start. Staff see one pipeline instead of a form tool plus a spreadsheet plus the SIS.
2. Student Information System (SIS)
Student and family system — demographics, Attendance, Scheduler, Behavior / Discipline, staff roster, and reporting — one system. Not a gradebook with hidden or add-on finance costs later.
The family (household) is the unit. Scheduler and Student locator keep the office current on where Students are during the day. Family directory and demographics help you understand your household base. Incident and discipline logs stay on the student system with emergency contacts and roles — ready for Gradebook, fees, and camps. Analytics and dashboards give the office a clear view without exporting to five spreadsheets.
3. Gradebook
Online Gradebook, report cards, progress reports, transcripts, and GPA. Faculty live here; Parents and Students see the same system in the family portal.
No separate parent grade portal. Progress reports and report cards publish from what Faculty already entered — what Parents and Students read is the same academic record.
4. Tuition & billing
Tuition management: payment plans, invoices, incidental billing, online payments, and family-portal pay. Finance is part of the operating system — not a hidden or add-on cost later.
Incumbents often look inexpensive until hidden or add-on finance costs appear. ANNASIS includes tuition & billing in the foundation — not as a later add-on.
5. Health & medical records
Immunizations, allergies, medications, and medical fields on the student system — including emergency-card details the office and nurse need. Athletics physicals that expire use the same workflows as eligibility and clearance.
Nurse, coach, and office look at one Student — not three binders and a separate forms tool.
6. School store
Uniforms, books, trips, and fees — school ecommerce on the family system, not a volunteer Shopify the office reconciles at night.
Store purchases land on the family beside tuition & billing. No second shop login to reconcile.
7. Communication
Email and SMS messaging to groups, teams, and lists. Family portal for Parents — no required app.
Notices reach Parents, Students, and Faculty on the student and family system — no required app. Student locator and family demographics sit with the SIS Scheduler.
8. Event registration
Sports, plays, camps, enrichment, extracurricular programs, games, and fundraisers — online registration and payment without add-ons and high fees.
Stop Eventbrite leakage. Event registration embeds on the school site, can collect waivers and consents, and stays on the same student and family system as tuition & billing.
9. Donations & fundraising
One-time and recurring giving, optional round-up, same family wallet.
Development is not a third processor with a third family list.
10. Accounting (QuickBooks)
Accounting integration: the school keeps QuickBooks as books of record. ANNASIS posts operations.
We do not replace the accountant’s general ledger. We stop the office from typing the same family three times.
11. Uniform exchange
A unique family-portal uniform exchange: Parents publish uniforms for other Parents or Students to exchange or purchase. No middleman required.
Used uniforms stay in the community — not a Facebook thread Faculty and the office cannot see.
12. Athletics eligibility & workflows
Athletics eligibility and clearance with waivers, consents, and serial or parallel approval workflows. Reusable for enrollment packets and purchase approval — without a bolt-on forms product like FinalForms.
Clearance sits on the same student and family system as fees and roster — configured by the school, not another vendor beside your SIS.
