About SMART
Built for homeschools and small schools that want clarity, not clutter
SMART (Student Management and Reports Tool) is an ideal fit for homeschools and small schools that want to stay organized without turning record-keeping into a second job.
Easy and simple
Screens are laid out for daily use: find a student, enter grades, record attendance, and move on. No maze of menus. No spreadsheet gymnastics. SMART is designed so parents, teachers and office staff can work efficiently from day one.
Thorough and complete
Simple does not mean shallow. SMART connects the records that belong together— enrollment, gradebooks, quarterly reporting, attendance, habits and traits, and permanent transcripts—so your school maintains a complete picture in one place.
Professional output
When it is time to communicate with parents or document a student’s academic history, SMART produces clean, print-ready report cards and transcripts that look organized and credible—not homemade afterthoughts.
Local-first and practical
Your data stays on your computer. SMART is built for homeschools and small schools that want dependable records, automatic backups, and a workflow they control—without depending on the cloud for everyday work.
Core Features
Simple daily tools. Complete school records.
Every module is designed for homeschool and small-school workflows—easy to use on their own, while working together to produce professional report cards and transcripts when you need them.
Student Dashboard
Enroll students, auto-generate IDs, assign learning centers, and keep records easy to filter by class structure.
Gradebook
Enter grades by subject and assignment, enforce scoring standards, and save grade data with clear error feedback.
Report Cards
Turn gradebook data into polished, print-ready report cards with optional attendance and habits sections—ready for parents, not just internal use.
Attendance Tracking
Record weekly excused and unexcused tardies and absences per student across all four quarters.
Habits & Traits Evaluation
Capture quarterly character evaluations using a simple E / G / S / N scale across work, social, and personal traits.
Transcripts
Build permanent academic records with credits, averages, and subject history in a professional layout suitable for graduation planning and official documentation.
Weekly tracking
Attendance by quarter and week
Filter by classroom, pick the active quarter and week, and enter tardies and absences for every student in one table—excused and unexcused counts stay organized for report cards.
Character records
Habits & traits at a glance
Score work habits, social traits, and personal traits for an entire classroom using the E / G / S / N scale. Changes flow through to report cards when you are ready to print.
Your school, your rules
Classrooms, grading, and report layout
Configure classrooms and lead teachers, set letter-grade bands and weighted categories, and customize habits & traits headers so reports match how your school actually works.
Permanent records
Transcripts that look official
Review school-year summaries with credits, GPA, and course history, then open print preview for a polished high school transcript you can share or keep on file.

Why Homeschoolers & Small Schools Choose SMART
Simple enough for daily use. Complete enough to trust.
"As a homeschooler, I wanted something I could use without extensive training—and report cards that still looked professional when we printed them."
Homeschooler
"Our small school needed more than a spreadsheet, but less than a huge district system. The gradebook is straightforward, and attendance, habits, and transcripts all stay connected."
