# TESS

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/467664/TESS

> TESS is a web-based student information system designed to manage data, scheduling, communication, and reporting for educational institutions. It provides centralized access to school information for administrators, teachers, parents, and students. The system is used by public, private, charter, and international schools to replace paper-based processes and fragmented software with a unified digital platform.

Its modular design allows schools to customize their setup by selecting components such as enrollment, attendance, class lists, grades, transcripts, accounts, discipline tracking, and individualized education plans. Role-based access offers dedicated portals for different user groups, including dashboards for students, attendance tracking tools, and online gradebooks for teachers. Features include online registration for enrollment, scheduling tools, grade access through MyMarks, and notification systems for school-to-home communication.

The platform operates entirely through web browsers, enabling access from any location without requiring software installation. Its interface is designed to accommodate users with varying levels of technical expertise, from administrators managing workflows to parents reviewing student progress. It centralizes data management, automates administrative tasks, and supports customizable reporting while maintaining security protocols tailored to institutional needs.

## Reviews

### "Creating New Documents" — 5.0/5

> **Susan** | *21 August 2014*
> 
> The Windsor team is prompt in returning my emails and calls.  The staff are knowledgable, professional patient and polite.  Min created two detailed documents for me promptly and without complaint.  He also gave me added support using the GOTOMEET feature when documents became frustrating to manipulate for final copy.  Nothing was too much trouble.  I could not have managed to create these documents without Min.   The GOTOMEET takes so much frustration out of working with Windsor.
Thank you for your time.
