RosarioSIS
RosarioSIS is a free, open-source student information system for school management, designed primarily for K-12 schools and adaptable to universities, academies and institutes. Its web application includes student records, grades, schedules, attendance, billing, discipline and food service. Student and parent portals, online registration and PDF document generation support school and family administration. The responsive design supports tablets and smartphones, and the project lists translations in 12 languages. RosarioSIS runs on PHP with PostgreSQL or MySQL and can be accessed from an internet-connected computer. Its Moodle integration can synchronize users, courses, schedules, events, assignments and portal notes. Hosted options list additional integrations including Google and Microsoft single sign-on, PayPal and Stripe registration, and Jitsi Meet. Schools can self-host or use the hosted service with one-click installation and support. Self-hosting requires PHP and a SQL database, and the school must install new releases to keep the system secure. Self-hosted use is free; hosted PRIMARY is €24 per month and PREMIUM is €36 per month.
