UMCA Rich Tree Academy
Challenges: Schools have a unique challenge in that multiple accounts with manageable access for tied users are needed. The UMCA Rich Tree Academy website required hundreds of accounts and needed accessibility for students, parents, teachers, administration, and the general public. Privacy was the number one concern for everyone involved in this project. Moving between portals caused concerns that had to be addressed. To help with this site’s maneuverability issues, we created their website design using the Wordpress engine. Using Starintek’s custom front end themes, with plug-ins designed to provide the sought after features. We incorporated our signature products. This allowed the new website to provide every registered user, including students, teachers, parents, administrator, and others with a unique recognized control panel proposed to show only user’s relevant information. At the same time the website incorporates the latest technology such as the stylistic AJAX, PHP, MySql, and ActiveScript 3.0. We assured the school’s administration that they would have complete control over the many added features. Unique to schools we added portals such as; school news, homework, and photo albums. These areas need constant updates by various staff and students. They also have to be accessible by parents or other classrooms. Making these things user friendly, yet safeguarding the privacy of the students, staff, and school was a feat in itself. The capability to send emails to users or send personal comments to students and parents was also a requested addition that we complied with for this client. Mass parent notices, daily teacher messages, and student reminders were all a part of that step as we worked in tandem to make this site comply with all of the needs of the users.
Schools pose a significant privacy concern, yet we were able to offer a solution that was easy to operate, functional, and offered the needed privacy for all student records and information.
