Covid underscored the need for two things: network security and reliable digital workflows.
When classrooms and central offices closed, the ability to properly manage traditional paper-based processes was gone. What came next? Automating those processes—and most schools have discovered they are more efficient with this workflow automation.

You’ll learn how replacing folders filled with parent-signed health and AUP forms with online solutions improves the user experience for everyone–parent, teacher, and administrator alike.
