My School Dance, a free online platform that allows schools to plan and manage school dances and events, has announced their newest enhancements to its platform that will be launched in March 2019. These enhancements were designed to create an even smoother platform for teachers, administration, parents and students to navigate through.
Taylor Buckley, Chief Operations Officer, said, “These new enhancements will benefit all of our users. That includes teachers in charge of planning, parents and students that are purchasing tickets and parents receiving enhanced communication.”
The four new enhancements were created from feedback from their current users and the members from the My School Dance team. Some of the newest enhancements are:
Parent Role- Currently, My School Dance can only be used for schools with students aged 13 and older. Now, they are creating a Parent Role which enables them to work with middle and elementary school students as well. Many middle and elementary schools host holiday dances, Daddy Daughter Dances, and other social functions.
Ticket Builder- Schools are allowed to create multiple different kinds of ticket types for each dance they host. Some schools offer discounts if you buy a couple ticket versus a single. This allows the planner to create multiple tickets with different dates and prices.
Day of the Dance Dashboard- This allows planners to view metrics and reports on everything that is happening. They can see data on things such as: what students are attending, how many kids have checked in, and the status on if students have agreements signed. It also allows the planners to text all parents or individual parents when their child arrives, when the dance is over, or if their child is leaving early.
Funds- Schools can choose the way they receive their funds from My School Dance. They can either get direct deposit through their payment processor, Stripe, or My School Dance will send them a check. They can choose to receive these checks weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, after the dance, etc. This way the school can just deposit the checks whenever they want.
Buckley said, “I personally love the new ticket builder. By providing administrators with more ways to customize the dance experience, we continue to meet unmet needs in this area.”
My School Dance wanted to create these new enhancements to ensure the dance planning and managing process is even easier than before. With these features, planning your upcoming dance this spring will be a breeze!
