School Administration Software

You may want to take a look at:

Centre
http://www.miller-group.net/

Open Admin
http://richtech.ca/openadmin/about.html

A low cost, but pretty mature package is also available:

SchoolMation
http://www.schoolmation.net/schoolmationweb/main/index.php

I don't have personal experience, but Google turned
these up quickly.
