K-12 Workflows & Automation

Kill the copy-paste. Put every process on autopilot.

——————————————

Your Problem (you’ll recognize these)

  • “Did Parent XYZ fill out their event form?” – form responses (or lack thereof) sit in a Google Form/Spreadsheet.

  • New-enrollment activities are tracked in various spreadsheets: Registration Week, Home Visit, New Students, Back to School Night, Uniforms, etc.

  • One email template (rather than bespoke messaging) regardless of attendance status at key events.

  • Manually send SMS recruiting messages when finding out Email failed to send.

Our Service: Workflows & Automation Built for Schools

Phase 1 – Shadow & Time-Stamp

  • Follow staff for one week; log every touchpoint during the recruitment process.

  • Identify “two-minute” tasks that actually eat 20+ hours/month.

Phase 2 – Map & Optimize

  • Draw current-state swim-lane and/or workflow process; flag steps that add zero value or are duplicative.

  • Rewrite future-state in plain English; get sign-off from admin and recruiters.

Phase 3 – Build & Connect

  • Configure low-code platform you already own (Microsoft Power Platform, Google AppSheet, Zapier, Make, or your SIS workflow module).

  • Create smart forms that pre-fill student data, route by grade-level, and push to finance, transportation, HR in one click.

  • Add custom fields where needed that facilitate the future state.

  • Add conditional logic: “If EL status = Yes → auto-create ELL teacher task and email family in Spanish.”

Phase 4 – Monitor & Scale

  • Real-time dashboard: pending approvals, average cycle time, SLA breaches.

  • Slack/Teams bot pings approvers at 24 hrs, escalates at 48 hrs—no more “I forgot.”

  • Quarterly review: cut another 10 % steps, add new automation as policies change.

Deliverables We Guarantee

  • 50% reduction in manual touchpoints within 60 days.

  • Assignment and Status-update workflows that run 24/7 — no paper.

  • Training videos + one super-user cohort so you own the logic, not us.

Tech We Use (district decides)

Power Automate, Power Apps, Google AppSheet, Formstack, SignRequest, Adobe Sign, Airtable, your existing SIS/APIs—no extra licenses required.
