Diocese of Tucson School’s Office Recommends
OptionC to Increase Effective Communication
Diocese of Tucson Schools Implement the OptionC School
Management System
For Immediate Release: ROCHESTER,
NY (February 16, 2007) – OptionC Inc., the leading provider of Catholic School Learning
technologies and fundraising services, announced the rollout of its flagship
School Management System at Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Tucson Arizona.
“Communication
between our schools, their parents, staffs and students is crucial” stated Sr. Rosa Maria Ruiz, C.F.M.M., Superintendent
of Catholic Schools for the Diocese. “OptionC
gives our schools an effective way in which they can communicate their
Catholicity and academic excellence.”
Students will
have access to personal & secure online learning centers for class
scheduling, attendance, grades, report cards, progress reports, lunch menu,
school events calendar and homework assignments. Parents can make tuition
and other school expense payments online. The school administrators will
have easy access to manage their alumni database, student emergency
information, lunch billing system, and tuition management and attendance
records.
OptionC also provides the
rapidly expanding electronic fund transfer (EFT) service, FAST Tuition
TM and its famous “12 hour deposits”. Schools have been switching to FAST in record numbers in order to
receive their tuition deposits within 12-48 hours after withdrawal. This is a significant benefit for schools
that require immediate access to their funds for payroll and other re-occurring
expenses.
