Making School Administration Child's Play
PencilBox is a Windows-based system developed to assist the many aspects of school administration. The system can be fully customised and is thus able to meet the requirements of any school. PencilBox captures and maintains comprehensive data of learners, their parents and staff. Learners are grouped into Grades, Register classes, Subject classes and Learner groups (Houses). These groups are date specific and form the operating base for all components of PencilBox. The system keeps a history of data as far back as required. With over 170 schools currently using PencilBox - it has become a vital role in the administration side of the school environment.
Backup feature exists for creating a zipped and compacted PencilBox database for Access users.
User-defined schedule for automated backup procedure available.
Backup feature available for SQL installations.
