INTERNET COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

SchoolFusion, an Internet tool from Centrifuge Solutions LLC, allows parents and students to view assignments, announcements, tests, and the class calendar through a private calendar that automatically compiles all of a student's assignments and activities.

Designed for the K-12 environment, SchoolFusion integrates with a school's Web site and uses a customized security system to ensure that only parents or guardians have access to their children's information.

Teachers can manage their classrooms by publishing assignments, class links, handouts, and test dates for each of their classes. Teachers can also e-mail an entire class; post lessons and homework assignments; manage and calculate grades; and create tinned, automatically scored quizzes. Club and sports schedules and other events can also be added and administrators can use automatic notifications to promote school events.
