Frequently Asked
Questions
"How quickly will I receive
my blood pressure reduction reports?
You know I need them yesterday."
All orders we receive by noon on Friday will be in your email inbox
on Monday morning.
Is your software compatible
with a Mac?
We
sell no software at 4point0schools.com. If you order a graphics package, we will make
graphs for you and send them to you as JPG files. JPG files are
easily inserted into Word or PowerPoint documents for your
presentations. Your order will come with instructions on how to
insert the graphs if you have not done so before. It's actually
very simple. We're Mac people too, by the way.
"Do you outsource to India
to keep your prices so low?"
We do eat Indian food any chance we get, but we keep our prices low
with low overhead, a product that is entirely digital, and by
working smarter than our competition. The product is 100% made in
the U.S.A., in the Sequoia National Forest (on private land), by
data analysts educated in the American public school system.
"How quickly will I receive
my roster data reports?"
The data project is usually completed within two weeks of receiving
payment and your data (potential delays will be well indicated on
the site and when you place your order). In the busy weeks of
August and early September, the wait could be a bit longer
particularly if you are ordering at the last minute. Order in
advance of STAR and CAHSEE seasons to get a good spot in the
queue.
If you have a particular delivery deadline in mind, drop us an
email and we will try to work it out. Keep in mind you will receive
graphics digitally. Depending on the size of your school or
district and the number of reports you order, you may need a few
days to print the reports.
"Do you accept purchase
orders?"
Yes. A purchase order is as good as cash. Mail the purchase order
and let us know it’s on its way so that we can put you in our
queue. Mail purchase orders to:
Societas, Inc.
P.O. Box 37
California Hot Springs, CA 93207
"Can you speak to our
teachers?"
We have a line of videos in development that help teachers
understand our teacher reflection and student motivation products.
They are designed to walk your teachers through the reports.
Otherwise, we do keep a limited travel schedule. Drop us a line
with what you have in mind.
"Do you have special
pricing on bulk orders?"
Yes. Note on the price list that the more you buy, the more you
save.
We will also private label for companies that want to offer this
data service to their own clients. Company information can be
included in the footer of each figure for an additional fee.
"Can you make a custom
report for our district?"
Yes. If it is data, we can handle it. We have several reports in
development and will also create custom reports for districts.
Contact us for more information.
"Do you do program
evaluation work?"
Some of our data services can complement an existing or planned
evaluation. One of the partners in our company, Societas, Inc.,
continues to do program evaluation but has a fairly busy schedule.
Amanda Rose, Ph.D., who is the primary developer of this site,
focuses on data products but is always open to interesting
projects.
