New to education and tools they use
Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Education Management Solutions
We use it for both our Preschool and Elementary/Middle School campus. It is used for admissions, enrollment, scheduling of classes, assignments, grade books and report cards. We also track attendance and we now use it to send out required forms. It has streamlined our processes for students moving from preschool to elementary, collecting forms and giving parents visibility into students assignments. Parents can communicate with teachers through the tools available. Teachers love the easy of processing grades for report cards.
- 150-299
- Report cards are quicker to complete with the calculate functionality.
- Recording grades for assignments and comments is better, no lost papers.
- Collecting back to school forms is more efficient.
- The ability to assign checklist to preschool transfers.
- It is not always easy to find the report you need due to naming of reports.
- Because forms are submitted online we are saving in copier expenses (i.e. paper, toner & sorting).
- The ability for parents to go out and check students assignments, tardies and class schedules.
- The ability to copy forms, contracts, applications and update without having to start from the beginning.
- Operational efficiency
- Advanced automation
- A connected school solution
I was not here when the decision was made to change systems and what they were using in the past.
I do know there was resistance in the beginning due to change but now it is a more positive attitude from staff.

We use Financial Edge, just implemented Raiser's Edge and use Smart Tuition.
