FITNESSGRAM 8.0 for District Administrators

With its centralized database, FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM 8.0 is especially convenient for large schools or districts that need to track students and compare their test scores over time as those students move through the school system. District-level administrators can use FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM 8.0's data management and reporting power to improve accountability, monitor progress, and improve results of physical education programs in every school throughout the district.

FITNESSGRAM/ACTIVITYGRAM 8.0 has many new features and improved capabilities:

1. Networking capability. School districts (or individual schools) can choose the version that best suits their needs and their network environments. Choices include
   

   * a Stand-Alone (Non-Network) Version for a single computer (Windows or MAC);
   * a Small Network Version for networking multiple computers within a single school (LAN-Windows or MAC); and
   * a District SQL Server Version for networking larger numbers of computers in multiple schools throughout the district (WAN-Windows or MAC client computers).

2. Centralized database for the two network versions. Because student data can be stored and shared through one location, this facilitates use of the program across the district and makes it easy to analyze data at the district level.
3. Additional new reports. These include new parent reports and revised student reports in Spanish and statistical reports for FITNESSGRAM, ACTIVITYGRAM, and the Activity Log, all available at the district, school, and class levels (depending on which version you choose).
4. Report Wizard. District and school administrators and teachers can select the scope and range of reports they wish to print. Users can select one or more report types to print at the same time. And report options include being able to view, print, or save the reports for printing at a later time.
5. More import options. The import feature is expanded, allowing for the import of multiple files simultaneously along with data matching options for student records.
6. New class administration features. These include a "Move To" feature that makes it faster and easier to move students around in classes. This is especially helpful for school districts using the centralized database.
7. Improved security features. Version 8.0 has enhanced security features, including required logins and different permission levels, in terms of accessing, editing, and running reports for districts, schools, and teachers.
