By leveraging a range of powerful tools and platforms, we ensure a seamless experience for students, teachers, and staff. These technologies enhance communication, collaboration, and data management, fostering an environment where learning thrives.

PowerSchool
PowerSchool serves as the central School Information System (SIS) at NFLS BCA, housing critical data about students, teachers, courses, attendance, grades, and more. Teachers rely on PowerSchool to record attendance and input assignment scores, ensuring accurate and efficient management of academic information. The system’s comprehensive features allow administrators to streamline operations while maintaining high standards of data integrity.

Microsoft 365 Suite
Microsoft 365 is integral to daily communication and collaboration at NFLS BCA. Teachers and students use Outlook for email correspondence, calendar management, and booking resources like classrooms. Teams serves as a hub for class announcements, discussions, and digital assignment submissions, promoting effective communication between educators and learners. OneDrive provides secure cloud-based storage, enabling the seamless sharing of files, while OneNote supports digital notetaking and organization. Microsoft Forms enhances assessment capabilities with customizable quizzes and surveys, offering educators valuable insights into student learning.
