SYNERGY

We are finalizing all of the security settings the week of Aug 11 and will begin onboarding staff as they return to school.

Staff can optionally view training materials using the link on the home page menu and choosing your role.

We listened to feedback from staff and reviewed the features and costs of different systems. After careful evaluation, Synergy stood out as the best choice to meet the needs of our district and our families.

We expect to switch to the new system for the 2025-2026 school year.

• Streamlined online registration - easier for new and returning families

• Multi-language support across the system

• Better integration with other school tools you already use

• A family-friendly interface that’s simple to navigate

• Mobile-friendly access so you can check information on the go

• Quick and easy access to student schedules, grades, and attendance

• More intuitive gradebooks and communication tools

• Ongoing improvements and new features throughout the year

We are excited for the great features of Synergy. Given the timeline for launch in August 2025, we will focus on the basics of the Student Information System, Gradebooks, and Online Registration.

Through the year we will continue to integrate and deploy new features like: Multi Tiered Systems and Support (MTSS), Special Education modules, Mobile Apps and Tools, Assessment, Analytics, AI Integration, and much more.

We are looking at additional software changes that will integrate better with Synergy with a modern interface and user experience. Food Services and Point of Sale software are two examples.
