Ceres High School - Flyer!

Check it out! Kimli from Ceres used our customizable flyer for her fall registration announcement. She even switched out the pictures and added ones of her students and school!

Love it! Looks GREAT!

If anyone needs the template let me know and I can send it over to you to use in your packets as well. These flyers can also be given to your PTA or Booster clubs to hand out during meetings so that you have direct access to the parents at your school!

Jefferson Junior High School - Utah

So I just had the coolest conversation with Chris Stoker at Jefferson Junior High about how they are getting the word out about online payments during fall registration.

Her school uses TxtWire (http://www1.txtwire.com/). Their txtdispatcher product enables administrators to send text messages to parents who subscribe to receive updates about school information.

Along with adding information in their packets, she's gotten the principal to communicate via text message with all of their subscribers about the WebStore option during fall registration.

How cool is that??

Text messages are instant, more often read than emails and not as time-consuming as phone calls and they provide an efficient and accurate means of communication.

Thought I would share this idea with everyone b/c I am totally impressed!!

Dr. Download Tutorial

Hi WebStore Users,

To prepare you for the upcoming school year, I've posted the Dr. Download help Tutorial for you to check out!

Be sure to ask your tech to include email addresses in your text file so that you can import that field into Tracks when you do your Dr. Download. This will be very handy when it comes to messaging new items for sale on your WebStore to parents/students!!

Old Thriva Reconciliations

Hi Everyone,

You all should have received my email this morning about completing any outstanding OLD Thriva store reconciliations by June 30th. I just want to make sure to clarify - it's ONLY any OLD store reconciliations that we're asking you to complete. Not closing our your entire year or reconciliations that pertain to the new version of the WebStore.

Hopefully this helps clarify what we're asking of you. The majority of you should be fully reconciled with your old store transactions by now since you've been on the new version for a few months. But if not, please complete them by June 30th.

Thanks!!

Viewable but not Orderable

Hi WebStore users!

With many of you out of the office in the month of July - here's a tip for you so that you don't have to disable your whole WebStore off of your website while you're gone!

If you DON'T want to allow sales in the month of July, rather than taking off your WebStore link down from your school website - keep your items enabled on your store but uncheck ORDERABLE in item maintenance.

This will keep your items up so parents and students can view the items that will be available for purchase during fall registration, but won't allow them to add them to their cart and purchase them.

When you're ready to start allowing sales, just re-check orderable and you're all set! This is much quicker and will save you much more time when you get back from summer :)

Check out what San Juan Hills High School did!

Hi WebStore Users!

Sorry for the couple days of no posts - been out of the office but I'm back and ready to kick off the work week (thank goodness it's already Wednesday!).

Came back to an awesome email from Lori at San Juan Hills High School. She sent me the WebStore flyer that they are sending home to students/parents for Fall Registration! She took the customizable flyer that I sent to her and added her school info on it!

Congrats Lori on my Gold Star of the Day! The flyer looks awesome!!! Check it out:
