Trecho is a grading program that has been tailor designed to specifically meet the unique needs of a Physical Education teacher.  It is a program that was designed by a P.E. teacher for P.E. teachers.  The Trecho grading program is made up of four basic components.  Each component can be sold separately, or as an entire package.   Here are the components:

Components

             The four main components of Trecho are the Grading Program, the Mile Run Timer, the Fitness Tracker, and the Trecho Reports Program.  Along with these comes a Locker Room Program and a Discipline Program.

             The Grading Program - Contains the Daily Record file that will hold all of your attendance, grades, and discipline records.  You can also add additional worksheets that reflect your school bell schedules, your grading rubrics, etc.  The program also includes Grade Posting and Summary tabs that will calculate the student grades based on the criteria you previously set-up.  Also, used in conjunction with the Mile Run Timer program and the Mile Posting tab available in the grading program will show all of the mile run scores and will tell you whether or not the student has met their standard or if they've shown improvement.  The Grade Book also has the ability to print student reports, discipline reports, fitness report cards, and missing assignment notices.

              The Mile Run Timer - Is one of the favorite features in the Trecho grading program.  The Mile Run timer allows a teacher to enter a student's mile time simply by tapping that student's number on the screen of a Tablet PC.  Once the timer has been started, and the student's number has been "tapped", the student's mile time will automatically be entered and a grade assessed based on the appropriate state standard for that student and how the teacher has previously set-up for that standard to be assessed.  

              Fitness Tracker - Is a program to help assist the teacher with the state fitness testing.  Input your data into the Daily Record and all scores are tracked for a pre, mid, and post fitness test.  The ability to print Fitness Report Cards is another features that sets Trecho apart from the rest.

             Trecho Reports - Is a program which contains many reports that can be generated for student, class, and teacher use.  Among these reports are attendance and class rosters, tournament schedule generators, mile run reports, and team generators.  All of these reports are easy to make and fit the needs of Physical Education classes and teachers.

             Trecho Discipline Program - Is a program designed to track student discipline.  This program can track all detentions and referrals as well as print them for a specific date.

             The Locker Room Program - Is a program with two great features.  A private student locker "look-up option" and the password protected teacher's list of assigned and unassigned lockers.  For the private student look-up option, the student page can be left available for student access, and the student will need their student Id number to access.  Once accessed the student has 15 seconds to note down their locker information before the screen is automatically cleared.  The teacher's list allows a teacher a computerized view of every student's locker combination, their lock number, and the layout of the locker room. 

Software / Hardware

              Trecho is a Microsoft Excel based program, so any hardware that you wish to install the Trecho grading program, or any of its components, on must have at least a Microsoft 2007 or newer version of the Excel program. If you do not have the Excel program it can be purchased and downloaded from the Microsoft website.    

               Trecho can be used on multiple platforms such as desktop computers, laptop computers, Tablet PC's, Pocket PC's, Smartphones and iPads (Smartphones and iPad's require an application such as Documents to Go).  It is best used in combination with a Tablet PC and a Smartphone or Pocket PC (Must have a PC to operate the whole program).  Imagine the possibilities of teaching P.E. without a clipboard.  Smartphone, Pocket PCs and iPads will synchronize with your Tablet PC, desktop, or laptop computer where all your data is calculated for P.E. specific intentions.  You input all your data and scores on your Smartphone, Pocket PC, or iPad, and all your scores can be seen on your Tablet PC.
