How a Small School Replaced Four Databases with One

St. Anne’s Episcopal School, a small independent school in Middletown, Delaware, replaced three to four disconnected databases with Veracross’s one-record system. Report cards that once took weeks now take a day or two, and emergency rosters are one click away. Why did St. Anne’s Episcopal School switch student information systems? The school had outgrown its previous system and used separate platforms for admissions, grading, and discipline. None of them shared data, so staff spent 15 to 20 minutes at a time searching across systems for one answer. What does a one-record system mean for a small school? Each student has a single record holding health information, attendance, parent contacts, and report cards going back to elementary school. Teachers find everything in one place, and parents see cleaner, more consistent data. How long do report cards take with Veracross? On the previous system, report cards took weeks or even months. With Veracross, a St. Anne’s teacher finishes them in a day or two and copies setup between classes and from one year to the next. How does Veracross support school emergency planning? St. Anne’s built custom reports so the whole school’s emergency profile, including class rosters and name tags, is available with one click if students need to leave campus. How do parents use the Veracross parent portal? Parents use the portal to sign a student out early or report a late arrival, so staff always know where each student should be.
