Head of School

• Keep them informed by granting access to the Dashboard so they can monitor data and trends in real time.

• This visibility helps them share informed updates with the board and make strategic, school-wide decisions.

HR Director

• These tools help them strengthen messaging, support branding projects, and highlight positive stories.

Admissions Director

• Allow them to create custom surveys to gather feedback on the admissions process.
