GCSource

GCSource is a dashboard that enables all district personnel to access consolidated information about GCS students. Because GCSource pulls from our district data warehouse, staff can see a broad range of data from many systems on a single screen, making it easy to see key indicators for student success including attendance and grades. Keeping all students on track is vital to their graduation progress and college and career readiness. An important component of GCSource is the Early Warning Response System (EWRS), which supports evidence-based decision-making by providing schools with timely tracking of the student “ABCs” (attendance, behavior, and course performance), three indicators found to be predictive of on-time graduation.

Incident Management System (IMS)

The Incident Management System was created by Greenville County Schools to document and report student discipline incidents. This system stores all information related to a disciplinary event including parent contacts about an issue, the teacher’s referral to administration for a specific incident, and the administration’s determination about what outcome is appropriate for the student such as parent phone call, detention, In-School Suspension, Out of School Suspension, among others. IMS also tracks bus suspensions, truancy violations, and other relevant information required for dropout prevention.

PowerSchool and PowerTeacher

PowerSchool is South Carolina’s statewide solution for storing and tracking student information. It houses all required enrollment and demographic information on district students and provides long-term storage for grades and attendance.
