Key features of SchoolCloud™

Implementing SchoolCloud™ helps to transform how school management is handled. It’s designed to simplify complex HR tasks, enhance staff productivity, and improve engagement across school communities. Among its key features include:

Intuitive dashboard

Tracking data from multiple places can be confusing and lead to missing information. A user-friendly interface centralizes critical data, keeping it organized to make informed decisions. Broker clients can keep track of payroll history, employee statuses (i.e., benefits enrollment, leaves of absence), and upcoming events and milestones (i.e., birthdays, work anniversaries) all in one place.

Certification tracking

Teachers are expected to maintain proper credentials per state and industry standards. A built-in tracking system makes it easy to manage and maintain necessary certifications. Administrators can quickly input information, including names, dates, and certification types, and attach relevant documents to ensure requirements are met and recorded.

Letters and notices

Consistent and clear communication keeps communities running smoothly. With SchoolCloud™, school clients can create, store, and manage templates for routine communications such as annual employment letters and offer notices. It supports individual and bulk sends and seamlessly integrates existing HRIS data with new information to keep each document up-to-date and customized to the recipient.

Digital documentation management

SchoolCloud™ promotes sustainability by eliminating the need for paper-based files and automatically cataloging each generated document so they’re readily available when needed. This saves on physical storage space and office waste and allows administrators and teachers to retrieve documents remotely.

Automated processes

Employee-related processes such as new hire onboarding, terminations, and leaves of absence can be modernized through a system which automatically triggers necessary templates and tasks. Also, as part of the process, appropriate staff are assigned objectives to foster a smoother transition and operational flow.

Training resources

SchoolCloud™ provides access to over 200 training modules tailored for K-12 administration, teachers, and staff. Topics cover crucial areas of learning, such as state-specific safety and security protocols, class management, HR and health courses, and more, to keep pace with educational standards.

School incident reporting

As part of the platform, smart forms for school incident reporting help to ensure a safe, secure, and compliant school environment. The forms track, report, and manage corrective actions for incidents involving school personnel, students, and visitors and are customized to meet specific state requirements.
