Questions or concerns can be directed to Vaughn Murphy, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------- Date: Thursday, March 21, 2002 2:33 PM From: Knutson, Carla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Do you know how you will report on your successful achievement of State Accountability Standards and Benchmarks? Can your parents access this information over the Internet? (95% of people have access to the Internet). STARS (Successful Teaching Assessing Reporting System) is designed to give you that ability at a very low cost. The one-time-only license fee is $2,000 and your yearly maintenance fee will depend on the number of buildings, students, and whether or not you host the data. That is a very low cost to give you the reporting and Internet capabilities you need! It will cost you that much and more to capture your data and generate reports manually! Fastek provides generous discounts to AEA's who implement STARS for all schools in their area. Plus, you get consistent reporting, training, and system administration. STARS works with your JMC data, SASI, or other student record management systems--no new system to learn, easy for teachers to use, and instant reports on benchmark performance. Parents will be able to view student progress against the benchmarks via the web. If you want to know more about STARS(tm) right now, please go to: www.fastek.ws/starswalk. Are you ready to schedule a demo? The best way to see STARS in action is to participate in an online demo. All you need is access to the Internet. Demos take approximately 30 minutes and we encourage you to invite other interested personnel to see STARS in action. To schedule a STARS(tm) demo, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call me at 1-888-404-5552. Thank you. Carla Knutson STARS(tm) Program Manager Fastek International Ltd.
