Norfolk’s schools educate approximately 33,000 students every day, from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Full-day preschool classrooms ensure that 1,998 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds enter school with critical early literacy and numeracy skills.
The Challenge
As a school system, making sure that no student is underserved is a top priority. In addition to putting the students first, the school system needs to maximize their operating efficiency to lower their costs. They began looking for a simple, integrated registration software that would help eliminate paper waste and make information available to all of their employees. Enter: Payscape Online Registration!
"Norfolk Public Schools is on a mission to ensure that all students maximize their academic potential, develop skills for lifelong learning and become successful contributors to a global society".
Solution
We were able to streamline our overall registration process, cutting down on paper cost, eliminating storage of physical files and reducing the average time to register students from ten to five minutes per person.

The most significant part of implementation has been the fact Payscape Registration offered a one-stop-shop and increased the availability of all registration information by my entire office staff. Numerous times I have been asked for specific data that I was able to produce reports that I would have to create previously from scratch. Also, Payscape Registration allows me to track my registrations per semester where trends and other analysis can be identified.

RESULTS
The experience in our first year has been tremendous. We do not have a single complaint, the software has aided in the tracking of payments and being able to generate a detailed running invoice allows the payment process to recorded in great detail.
