SMASHED – SFs (Spreadsheets of Microsoft Acting as Systems for Homeroom and Educational Digitalization of School Forms) began as a personal tool built by a Senior High School adviser to survive grading season — used privately for a few years before it was publicly introduced in 2021, and has since grown into a system used by advisers, registrars, and school heads across the DepEd Division of Quezon.
SMASHED – SFs was created by a teacher at Gumaca National High School to automate the generation of SF9 and SF10 report cards for his own advisory class. It stayed a personal tool for a few years before, as word spread, other teachers at GNHS began asking for a copy — and it was publicly introduced to the Senior High School department in 2021.
It was formally recognized as a school innovation by Gumaca National High School and the DepEd Schools Division of Quezon Province: indorsed by the SHS Program Coordinator and School Principal, recommended by the Division's EPS In-Charge of Senior High School, and approved by the Schools Division Superintendent. A follow-up Action Research study, AUTOSAVeR for GNHS Senior High School Teachers, found that class advisers using the tool reported real time savings, fewer errors, and easier access to school records.
It was later presented to San Francisco B NHS, Talipan NHS, and Villa Perez NHS — with Villa Perez National High School becoming the first school outside GNHS to adopt it. Since then, it has continued to grow one recommendation at a time, including a division-wide gathering of school leaders on research and innovation, held January 27, 2024, where it was introduced across DepEd Quezon's Senior High Schools.
The original SMASHED – SFs was a macro-enabled Microsoft Excel workbook — powerful, but tied to a single Windows computer and prone to file-sharing headaches between an adviser and their subject teachers. This site is the Online Edition: the same automated report generation, rebuilt as a cloud-based system so teachers and advisers can collaborate on the same records from any device, and students can view their own term ratings in real time.
It's no longer limited to Senior High School either — the current system supports Grade 4 through Grade 12.
Give teachers back the hours they lose to manual encoding, so that time goes to actual teaching and supporting learners instead of paperwork.
