"I'd just like to pass along officially how thrilled we are by the service we have received from Fast Direct. Hank was very helpful and accommodating in visiting us here in Utah and helping us through the initial stages and the training. Your staff has done a great job of setting our system up and helping us work through the inevitable issues as we got started. We could not be more satisfied with the service we have gotten from Fast Direct! I have found that the people I have talked to or e-mailed were helpful, knew what they were doing,and responded very quickly. Teachers have found the system to be easy to use and to be very powerful. While we are just in the process of getting parents on, reaction from them so far has been very positive.

A huge THANK YOU to all of you at Fast Direct! "

-Bill Busacker, Principal ,Grace Lutheran School in Sandy, Utah

"FastDirect is a huge success at St. Paul. Our parents appreciate the online services (grades, report card, lunch menu and fee balances) and our teachers and staff value the prompt and helpful support from the staff at FastDirect. It's a win!"

-Thomas Geyer, Principal, St. Paul Lutheran School in Fort Worth, Texas (US Department of Education 2006 Blue Ribbon School)

"It's good to be back in school! Our enrollment is down a little but not as bad as many of the schools in the area. We had 224 students before the hurricane (Katrina) and as of today we have 206 active students. I attribute that to three things: A faculty who all returned; the Westbank of New Orleans not destroyed as much of the rest of the city; and the communications we were able to have with our parents during the evacuation and return through FAST DIRECT. Two of those three I really feel we owe you guys thanks for. Of the Lutheran schools that have reopened, most have reported that their numbers are down quite significantly. While you didn't have anything to do with the path of the hurricane, you did make it possible for Deb and I to communicate with many of our faculty and families while they fled to safety. I can't count the comments I have received from parents thanking us for keeping them informed."

“I can quickly and easily view my children’s grades which helps me determine if they need help with a particular subject. This is a terrific motivational tool, especially for my older child, because we can see the immediate results of his studying rather than having to wait until report card time.”

-Dana, 6th Grade Parent, St. Peter's Catholic School in St. Louis, Missouri

"FastDirect is a wonderful tool for our school. I previously had used School Minder to track some of our school's information in a data base, it fell short of our expectations. FastDirect is tailored to the needs of a school system from attendance to financial record keeping needs. I have been using the system for a short period of time and cannot say enough about how receptive the employees of FastDirect have been with answering questions and modifying their program to meet our needs. My teachers seem to like it and it really saves me a lot of time. I love the way the parents can look at their financial account online and not have to call me to find out their balance. It is also wonderful to be able to send and receive messages from parents instead of answering phone calls."

-Molly Bowen, Administrative Assistant, King of Glory Lutheran School in Saint Louis, Missouri

“I like that I can see my grades and see if I am struggling in any course. I can also check to see when my assignments are due which helps me budget my time.”

-Adrian, 6th Grade Student, St. Peter's Catholic School in St. Louis, Missouri

"Christ the King Lutheran School has been pleased with FastDirect. Our families especially appreciate the ability to remain updated regarding their child's grades. It has improved and simplified communication from our office. The attention given to us by the company and their understanding of the needs surrounding a Lutheran School have been a great benefit."

-Michael Rosin, Principal, Christ the King Lutheran School in Southgate, Michigan



"Our faculty has never adapted to any technology program with greater ease and enthusiasm than they have to this program. They love the ease of handling attendance and report cards on-line. They all find the grade book feature easy to use, and our communication with parents has been greatly facilitated through this program."
