Please refrain from ever using Sansation and try a different one.

I might try using GWF, is it basically li,e a free version of Adobe's Typekit? However I'd like a bit more explanation into your "do not use Sansation ever" statement?

@SeptimusHeap: yeah, salt and hash I'm pretty sure.

basically free typekit, yeah
although, having never tried typekit, I don't know if you can download the fonts as well or not
I know for googlefonts you can

I'm beginning to come to peace with the current (somewhat awful) interface I'm creating for the system so far. By awful I don't mean ugly, but more "unfluid." Currently, everything requires a page, which is a slow, unintuitive way of interfacing with the program. But that's okay. I only need to worry about functionality in the most basic sense. This is OnSchedule 1.0. A work-in-progress. Over the summer I'll refine the interface using Ajax and HTML5 Canvas to create a better UX, but until then, this will suffice.

Edit: We also now fully support slightly smaller monitors. We scale properly for screen sizes between 1002px and 1407px. We will need to change it for 1920*1080 and mobile sizes.

Edit 2: Scratch that, accidentally deleted the folder. Luckily I had the 1218.gs file open, but 978 was lost. Let this be a cautionary tale: backup, backup, BACKUP!!!

Sounds like a really cool idea 
One thing though... All the kids in your school are getting free ipads!!!

Each student is issued an iPad (first two classes got iPad 2, then iPad 3, presumably iPad 4 for next year's freshmen) along with the iWork suite. We get some textbooks on the iPad (right now it's mostly science) and there are also some applications in math. Students also use them to type essays and browse the web to get through a boring class (don't tell the teachers  ).  Its a new program, obviously. It began last school year with the Freshmen and Sophomores and one eighth grader (I got mine early because I was in a math class that used them) and each progressive class will receive them as well, in theory. The rest of my freshman class this year got iPad 3s. (Although there is a rumor that we may be switching to Chromebooks instead of iPads. Hopefully that means the $1000 like-an-ultrabook-but-chromeos Chromebook Pixel, but it'll probably be one of the cheaper ARM powered models. Anyway, it may or may not effect me, as we don't have details and they may phase them in annually like they did on the iPads.) Theoretically they belong to the school. There is a program to transition ownership for teachers, and there is not yet a graduating class that has had iPads issued (I guess we'll find out next year).
