Top 5 Updates in 2017-2018...
#1 FDpay - We
have partnered with Pace Payment Systems to make it easy for your
school to accept credit card and debit card payments from parents for
anything from tuition to yearbooks! Parents are able to pay for a
variety of school-related fees without having to leave their FastDirect
parent account and all major credit cards and debit cards are
accepted! Read more..
#2 Timer - This
free feature allows you to track attendance hours for preschool,
daycare, before and after school care, and more! When combined
with Finance, you are able to bill a family’s account directly with
just a click! Read more..
#3 Primary/Secondary - Taking attendance
for multiple homerooms has now been made much easier with the new
Primary/Secondary feature! If your school has multiple homerooms for
different preschool schedules, childcare, or shared homerooms, this
feature will help save you time and confusion! Read more..
#4 Monitor Icon for Staff - For
many of our schools, keeping track of students who come in late, leave
early, or leave during the middle of the day often requires the help of
someone who is not always an administrator. With a principal's
request, we can give the Monitor icon to a non-administrator
on the staff list, such as a volunteer, to help out with tracking
attendance in the school's front office. Read more..
#5 Parent Form Time Stamp - Registration
is an important time of the year for schools and we want to help with
that process. We have added a verification report to help track
when parents saved their parent information. Read more..

Checklists for the new school year...
The
start of school can be a crazy time but HelpDesk is here to make it
easier. With the start of school quickly approaching,
FastDirect wants to make sure your school is ready. In
addition to completing the Summer Transition steps, there are several
other items to be addressed. To stay on top of the many features
and settings that need to be reviewed for the start of school, we have
created a checklist for administrators, as well as separate ones for
teachers and parents. Click the links below to view the
checklists, as well as our FastDirect Summer Timeline!
HelpDesk
