Collaborations and partnerships play a meaningful role in Long Beach City School District’s mission to develop compassionate, life-long learners capable of achieving their personal goals. For Patrick Kiley-Rendon, Director of Instructional Technology, managing the information of over 3,500 students in seven schools is not a one-person job. This is why he partnered with Arbiter, using our online school registration software to maximize efficiency and compliance for his district.
When New York schools received the announcement that “high-risk” sports could begin in their state, Patrick only had a short amount of time to inform families, answer questions, and collect consent for testing student-athletes for Covid-19.
With Arbiter’s easy-to-use online school registration platform, the administrative staff was quickly able to create a custom form, notify parents, and collect the responses needed to get students on the field safely. Patrick had the flexibility to create a custom form that included whatever information will help keep families up to date. With the right software and true partnership, no task is too big.
Having a simple way to communicate updates to families ensured that everyone was on the same page. Patrick and his team were so happy with how easy Arbiter Registration made the collection process, that the district now has plans to use for all student registrations in the future.
When tailoring it to meet our needs, we included supplemental forms from the lab company and an FAQ about the testing process. Parents created accounts and navigated everything with very few questions. Our Director of Athletics is excited to begin using Arbiter Registration to replace paper ‘Medical and Contact Cards’ for our student-athletes.” — PATRICK KILEY-RENDON| DIRECTOR OF INSTRUCTIONAL TECH, NY
