The Student Viewer module of the Pinnacle System lets your students monitor and participate in their own progress.
Specially designed to be used by students unassisted by teachers, the Student Viewer gives students real-time access to:
  • Attendance Records
  • Grades
  • Assignments
  • Teacher Comments
Research has shown that empowering students with timely, accurate feedback on their progress increases their involvement and interest in the learning process, resulting in significant improvements in student performance. Schools who have implemented the Student Viewer have reported a 25% increase in student performance in less than six months. Simply by being able to see the difference their daily efforts make, students are motivated towards more consistent study habits and realize the effects of late homework and poor test scores.
Controlled and Secured by the Pinnacle System
The data accessible by the Student Viewer is all collected and maintained by the Pinnacle System and is up-to-the-minute information received directly from teachers’ electronic gradebooks.
Students access the Viewer from student workstations on the school local area network using their own unique ID-numbers and passwords that are controlled by the Pinnacle Administrator system so they can be added and removed as needed. Because all the information accessible to students is generated from the Pinnacle System, teachers and administrators can rest assured that students cannot alter or modify the gradebook.
System Requirements  
If you’re already using the Pinnacle System, the Attendance Manager module can be added seamlessly and only requires a moderate amount of hands-on training for attendance officers and other administrators to start using it. Most commands are intuitive and can be learned and applied easily.
