Testimonials

I can’t imagine working without MMS. We just transitioned to this software from a paper and pencil report card system. I would never want to go back. The students really enjoy the ability to “see” their averages every day.

Claire Hintze
Our Lady Help of Christians

I am very pleased with MMS. It saves me so much time and energy, compared to the last SIS we used.

Cindy Steere
Foster Glocester Regional Schools

I love MMS! I work with the grades, report cards, and transcripts regularly. I love the fact that you can get so many different reports out of it, once you have entered some basic information.

Vickie Berdine
Carmichaels Area School District

MMS has definitely made my job easier! Everything is no longer scattered on my computer in random spreadsheets and documents! It’s simple now to just log in to MMS and find the information I need.

Tina Hawksley
Paul Cuffee School

The ease with which we can generate our needed reports is a great time saver!

Dr. Joseph P. Karwoski
Central Cambria School District

I am able to work more efficiently because of the variety of aspects the MMS system offers. This gives me more time to help with other projects that pop up on a daily basis at our school.

Amber Braman
Pine Cobble School

Your webinars, both live and pre-recorded, are excellent! The trainers are very accommodating to our needs and are such wonderful teachers. Also, I can’t say enough about your tech support. I have been using MMS software since 2002 and any issue that I have encountered has always been addressed the very same day, whether I choose to call in or email. I couldn’t imagine working with any other student information software or group of people.

Barbara Hoffacker
Fairfield Area School District

Training in MMS and SQL last summer was really great. I learned a tremendous amount.

John Rankin
Inter-Lakes School District

The training and support staff are amazing! They are always there to help with anything and make the process as easy as can be.

Rudy Gruenke
Nativity School

I am very appreciative of the staff and support I receive. I can’t tell you how many times I have commented when hanging up the phone with them that I have said out loud “They are so nice there!” Always knowledgeable, helpful and polite (and patient with me!).

Betsy Gettig
Bald Eagle Area School District

Your support staff is outstanding. They have a very fast response time and great knowledge of all aspects of MMS.

Frank Flamini
Cumberland Perry AVTS

MMS OnLine has been fantastic and not having to worry about backups and updates has made my job a lot easier. I also appreciate the work that MMS has done to keep the PIMS reporting up to date and the instructions they offer.

Charles Wicker (Superintendent)
Oswayo Valley School District

The use of the MMS GradeBook online portion has been helpful. Guidance staff having easy access to live, changing grades and assignments has been very helpful in terms of intervening with students who need assistance.

Ron Matchock (Supervisor of Curriculum and Instruction)
Curwensville Area School District

Many of the special reports and jobs we used to do in Word or in Excel can now be accessed through MMS, saving us a great deal of time. The webinars have been extremely helpful and very cost efficient.

Bruce Bishop (Administrative Assistant)
Oxbow High School

The on-line course registration has been great!

Brenda McGee (Technology Coordinator)
Gilford School District

The time savings that MMS has to offer our district is extraordinary. The program is able to meet all of our reporting needs for all applications and PIMS state reporting.

Kathy Hershberger (Confidential Secretary/PIMS Coordinator)
Albert Gallatin Area School District

MMS saves us time every day in so many ways. We don’t know how we ever got along without it. Your training staff is terrific, and customer support always comes through for us. We love MMS.

Sharon Brennan (Administrator)
Robert Treat Academy Charter School

Besides buying LunchTime because it is a very user-friendly program and because it integrates seamlessly with our student information system, I would purchase this program just because of the tech support. Their technical support staff has always returned my calls promptly. They went above and beyond to help us solve our own network issues in order to get LunchTime to run smoothly. Their technical support is superb.

Sandy Benedict (Technology Staff Developer)
West York Area School District

I find MMS to be very user-friendly and, most importantly—the availability of knowledgeable, friendly tech support makes my job oh so much easier!

Marcia Rollins
Franklin High School

Overall, I believe your products have improved from year to year. The PIMS module has made my life so much easier.

Mark Gerchman
Susquehanna Community School District

Every person I talked with—from the initial sales call to implementation, to training, to software support, to associated vendors (Lunchtime & One Call Now)—have been great to work with. I have thanked our Board on more than one occasion for approving the purchase of this time saving, efficient system.

Michelle Helmic
Cole Academy

I have attended several training sessions, particularly scheduling, and came away with a good feeling about your product.

Donna Kuzio
South Side High School

I enjoy the webinar subscription as a refresher to what I already know. It is so much easier for me to take a webinar than go off-premise for training.

Kathi Brown
K A Brett School

The support department has been wonderful. Every time I have had a question, it has been answered quickly and thoroughly.

Heather Swope
Fairfield Area School District

MMS has saved us loads of time with our state reporting requirements. The ability to keep a snapshot of previous years’ data, is very beneficial.

Shelly Fredericks (Business Manager)
Infinity Charter School

Attendance is fast and accurate. Precision report writing program is a great time saver.

Yvonne Bouchard (Office Manager)
Three Rivers School

MMS provides “one stop shopping,” allowing me to get any information on every student enrolled in our school. The scheduling component is great, and it has been improving over the past few years. In a small school with limited resources the master schedule is a nightmare. The MMS scheduling system has cut the time we spend in preparation of the schedule drastically.

John Menhart (Principal)
Carmichaels Area School District

Great! 99% trouble-free and does everything we need. LunchTime eliminated many problems and is much easier for end users.

David Welsh (Network Administrator)
Philipsburg Osceola Area School District

Your support staff is wonderful to work with, and they know MMS inside and out. Thanks to all of them, we made it through our 1st year of the conversion to MMS SQL and from Grade Quick to MMS GradeBook.

Robyn Maghamez (Director of Technology)
Northeast Bradford School District

Training has given me the ability to relay that training experience to our secretaries to make their jobs easier, and in turn, mine as well.

Jeanne Ellis (Data Analyst)
Westerly Public Schools

MMS is a fantastic tool for almost every task within a district. The PIMS functionality is a huge timesaver and the support staff is the best there is!

Tracy Colbert (Technology Director)
Williamsburg Community School District

Along with MMS’s system and support staff, our experience has been great! By using the basic functions, along with more detailed ones, (using built modules or creating custom reports), MMS has enabled our district to be better at handling all the information.

Luke Crabill (Technology Specialist)
Conewago Valley School District

MMS has made everything easier in my position as Vice Principal. When I learn to use it fully for scheduling, it will be even better. I plan to attend a session on auto scheduling next school year.

Sr. Patricia (Vice Principal/Director of Studies)
Gwynedd-Mercy Academy High School

It is beneficial that you are always looking for ways to improve your application. The level of support that I received throughout the MA DESE SCS Pilot project was outstanding. I attended DESE’s project debriefing meeting and MMS had far fewer implementation issues than other applications in use by other districts that participated in that project. Thank you all so much for your help!

Gin Koski (Registrar)
Ashburnham-Westminster Regional School District

I love the fact that MMS creates all the state reports for us. We only need to populate the fields. It would take a tremendous amount of time to do this manually, and we would open ourselves up to many errors. Also, MMS support is wonderful. Every time I make a call, if a support person isn’t available, I receive a call back in a short amount of time. There is never a problem that can’t be fixed. I love MMS and would refuse to switch to any other system. This does everything we want it to do.

Janet Myers (Data Manager)
South Ripley High School

 

State reporting is a breeze, thanks to MMS. Customer support is awesome.  All the support technicians are very knowledgeable and they have always helped me with any questions I have.

Deborah Sperbeck
Russell Byers Charter School

 

MMS definitely saves time and money.  We save a considerable amount of time building our Master Schedule each year using MMS.  Without it, I am not sure how long it would take us.  The Support Team is wonderful.

Sr. Geraldine Burns, SND
Bishop Fenwick High School
