Focus takes attendance, keeps record of the students grades, birthdays, and keeps it stored for the entire school year for the teachers to have access to it. Focus also helps the other staff members and administration by helping to keep track of all the students enrolled in the system, the students schedule to be able to help the staff locate the students immediately, medical information, emergency information, grades, etc. This information system makes our jobs as employees easier because all we have to do is access the database and it gives us all the information that we could possibly need when dealing with the students.
