Why Parchment for charter and independent schools?

Parchment provides a holistic solution for K-12 records management and credentialing. Our products integrate seamlessly to keep student records secure yet accessible throughout the student lifecycle, whether your school serves K-2, K-12, or anything in between.

Streamline staff processes

Parchment makes it easier for staff to manage large amounts of student information without getting buried in piles of paperwork. Features like scan-as-you-go Document Capture and centralized digital storage simplify recordkeeping and give staff more time to serve students.

Secure student data

With Parchment’s suite of FERPA-enabled solutions, student data is protected from the moment records are created through the time students move on from your school. Role-based permissions ensure only authorized staff can access information, and audit trails track when records were accessed, by whom, and when applicable, where they were sent

Increase accessibility

With our secure online platform, authorized staff can quickly access the records they need, when they need them, without searching for paper files. Families, alumni, and approved third parties can also request records securely online, reducing back-and-forth and improving service.

One partner for K-12 and beyond

For K-12 schools, the Parchment network expands into higher education and the workforce, giving your staff and students one trusted records and credentialing partner to rely on during school and long after.

How it works

While our products can be used à la carte, many charter and independent schools use a combination of solutions for a seamless, efficient experience for staff, families, and students. Here’s how.

Digital records for current students

Move from paper folders to secure digital student records. Incoming documents can be captured through scan-as-you-go Document Capture or uploaded and organized in K-12 Cumulative Folders, giving counselors, nurses, and other authorized staff quick access to the most current information without checking out paper files or searching across campus.

Secure records storage for alumni and staff documents

After learners matriculate or graduate, alumni records can be stored in K-12 Document Management, along with staff or HR records. Records requests for current or former students can be securely received and managed through our K-12 Award and K-12 District Transfer solutions, simplifying and streamlining work for records management staff.

Learner credentials in print and digital

For K-12 charter schools, learners who graduate receive print diplomas for their wall, and digital diplomas for social networking. Their credentials can continue to be accessed through their Parchment learner profile to help them navigate college and/or career. Plus, with our Award K-12 solution, they’ll be able to tap into the largest worldwide credential network.

What charter schools are saying about Parchment

“[Parchment] worked fast to get us started so our parents could complete online enrollment. We have over 97% that have completed the online enrollment, and in my previous experience, normally this would be around 60% [with] paper copies.”

“I am one person for K-12 and we have 1800 students here at our school. We normally run about 279 seats every year that we’re feeling that without [Parchment], it would definitely add so much more time to my plate.”
