An interactive tool that helps prospective families find the right SA school based on their borough, child's grade, and priorities. Bridges the gap between "I'm curious" and "I'm applying."
Answer a few questions and we'll match you with SA schools near you.
The current site asks families to browse a map and click through boroughs. That works if you already know what you want, but the assumption is that most parents start with a simpler question: "Is there a good school near me?" This tool tests that hypothesis by answering with personalized results and a clear next step. The bet: giving families useful information before asking for commitment will lift application conversion. To validate, we'd want to measure current drop-off between the Schools page and the Apply flow, then A/B test a guided path against the existing browse experience.
A guided post-enrollment experience that replaces the current "Helpful Links" page with a step-by-step flow. Meet your school, set up your tools, know what's coming.
Right now, the post-enrollment experience is a grid of links to six different platforms with no guidance on where to start. The assumption: this is where families form their first impression of SA as an organization, not just a school. If that's true, a structured onboarding journey should reduce Family Care call volume, increase tool adoption before day one, and set the tone that SA is invested in the relationship early. The first thing to validate would be current call drivers and drop-off points in the enrollment-to-first-day window.
A single authenticated experience that brings grades, messages, calendars, and resources together. Replaces the fragmented external tool links with one place for everything.

Hi Hernandez Family,
I wanted to share that Amber did a wonderful job on her oral presentation about Charlotte's Web today. She spoke clearly, made eye contact with the class, and answered questions from her classmates with real confidence.
This is a big step from the beginning of the year when she was nervous about presenting. She's been putting in the work and it's showing.
Her written book report also came back strong at 93%. I've posted the full rubric in eSchoolData if you'd like to see the breakdown.
Let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you at conferences in March!
Best,
Ms. Rodriguez

App Store & Google Play →This is the long-term vision: a single family experience that wraps existing systems (eSchoolData, ParentSquare, Salesforce) into one cohesive interface. Families shouldn't need to know that grades come from one system and messages come from another. The assumption is that consolidating platforms will reduce cognitive load for families and support volume for the network. The architecture approach, a unified front-end over existing backends via APIs, is lower risk than replacing systems outright. The open question is which integrations to prioritize first; that should be driven by current support ticket data and family feedback on where the fragmentation hurts most.
A strategy for consolidating the family digital experience without replacing existing systems.
Take an inventory, consolidate, build, iterate.
Audit existing systems. Map data sources, identify available APIs, and establish where the source of truth lives for each type of family information. Then build a read-only dashboard that pulls grades, messages, and calendar into one view.
Success metric: A clear integration inventory and families accessing information in one place instead of five.
Add interactive features: reply to messages, RSVP to events, upload documents. Guided onboarding for new families that reduces the support burden on Family Care and school operations teams.
Success metric: Daily active engagement with the hub, reduction in Family Care call volume.
Assess what's working and what needs to change. Migrate backend functions based on what Phase 1 and 2 reveal. Add the School Finder as the public-facing entry point. Connect the full journey from discovery through daily engagement.
Success metric: Families complete their most common tasks without leaving the platform. At least one legacy system retired.
