Blackbaud in the Classroom

Jackson Hole Classical Academy is proud of this year’s investment in Blackbaud. Blackbaud is a cloud-based software system that makes it easy for schools to manage and convey information by redefining the way parents, students, and faculty interact online. JHCA has named its own Blackbaud system "Owlnet" after the school's owl mascot.
 
Owlnet has allowed JHCA to move from seven independent online systems to just one. It provides a single place where students can check homework, parents can pay tuition, buy hot lunch, view waivers and school documents, and view trimester grades.
 
One teacher says, “Owlnet is like a duck swimming upstream—we only see the gliding above the water, but there’s a lot of work happening below the surface!”
 
There are four major functions of the Blackbaud system that facilitate communication between the school and familes. They are OnBoard, OnMessage, OnCampus, and OnRecord.
 
OnBoard increases engagement with prospective families. It provides the online tools for filling out an application, registering for events, requesting teacher recommendations, submitting enrollment contracts, and more.
 
OnMessage helps us manage the website and create unique landing pages with relevant information for special events, campaigns, and communications.
 
OnCampus allows teachers to easily create and share engaging learning resources. They can drag and drop an unlimited number of mixed media items into the tool, and determine the order in which students and parents have access.
 
This function also allows teachers to enter grades quickly and accurately. Teachers can add comments to an individual student’s grades with an option to share with parents.
 
OnRecord allows JHCA to customize the layout and appearance of transcripts. Teachers can post personalized student comments, which can be viewed immediately or at a later date upon completing the approval process.
 
As we move into next year, be alert to updates on new materials and functions updated onto Owlnet!
