Thanks to a generous donation, The New School will be implementing a multifunctional database/software system next year. The first part of our implementation is almost ready to roll out. We will be handling all admissions, enrollment, financial aid, and tuition payments through Blackbaud beginning in April. Look for information from the office about reenrollment for next year. Thank you, Susan for all of your hard work setting up the core of out database and working to develop the processes for admissions and enrollment within the Blackbaud software!
Meanwhile, Susan and Christine are learning how to use the student management system and building out the day-to-day functionalities for use next year. Beginning in September, The New School will be able to take attendance, track academics, schedule classes, communicate with students and parents, and utilize a host of other great data-driven tools. This is a massive project, and we are excited by the possibilities. Our current goal is to have the student management system up and running by August 1, so that staff will have a chance to learn how to use the software prior to school starting.
