Studies show that making the students, parents and community
feel part of the school increases the effectiveness of the
school and helps all parties involved. (Zygmunt-Fillwalk,
2006) Indeed, there are school/community relations of some
form occurring all the time, whether school staff are aware
of
them
or
not.

and write down the grades of the students and give it to the
office of Registrar. The Registrar will then wait for the
students to pick-up their grades. Sadly, not all students
can pick-up their grades on time. Sometimes the Registrar is
close or their grading cards have been misplaced. Sometimes
students who got their grades on time, dont want to show it

Foreign Studies
Richard (2004) emphasized that information about students
grades is vital, but timeconsuming to manage and it is essential
that the most effective tools be used to aid both staff and
students go about their work and studies. The Cambridge Student
Grading System (CAMSGS) replaced various student records system
used by the colleges, departments and universities. CAMSGS
provides comprehensive and accurate information about students
grade body and also improves data quality, reduce the
administrative burden dramatically and provides better services
to both academic staff and students.
According to Desousa (2008), Web based application have four
corebenefits. These are the following: 1) Compatibility. Web
based applications are far more compatible across platforms than
traditional installed software like web browsers. 2) Efficiency.
Everyone hates to deal with piles of paper unless they do not
have any other alternatives. The benefit of web based solution
makes services and information available from any webfacilitated
