Pipeline Student Management System (SMS)
In 2010, Scots introduced Pipeline SMS (shifting away from its former system Scoogle), a set of dynamically controlled sites allowing parents to access resources and research materials online, on the college's latest twin ISDN connection.
Pipeline now also incorporates all day-to-day school administration functions, including rolls, detentions, homework merits and demerits, behavioural reports, school report releases, discipline records, subject selection, student timetables, assessment marks, attendance records and subject resources, allowing parents and teachers to communicate easily online and transfer documents (and information), and software not usually available at home. This network allow parents to securely gain access to school publications (such as The Flying Scotsman and The Clansman newsletter), now only available in electronic format; academic and pastoral reports; assessment marks; academic documentation; school news articles; and so forth.
As part of this shift towards electronic learning, Scots has digital projectors, speaker systems and DVD/VCR systems in the majority of its classrooms and halls, in order to better facilitate media presentations by staff and students.

Famous quotes containing the words pipeline, student, management and/or system:

a special pipeline to the mystical....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“UG [universal grammar] may be regarded as a characterization of the genetically determined language faculty. One may think of this faculty as a ‘language acquisition device,’ an innate component of the human mind that yields a particular language through interaction with present experience, a device that converts experience into a system of knowledge attained: knowledge of one or another language.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
