Streamline administrative tasks, digitize manual processes, and transform student behavior with Claris FileMaker.

Teaching isn’t just about lesson plans and student interaction – it also involves extensive administration. Those administrative tasks wear away an educator’s time, resources, and energy, which could be better used to improve student outcomes.

Like many public schools, Ethel Dwyer Middle School, located in Huntington Beach, California, struggled with a tight budget and limited resources. Inefficient processes added to the teachers’ administrative burden. The school needed an immediate solution that would help automate repetitive tasks – like assigning lockers and tracking student incidents as well as planning and implementing school events.

"Using this app to collect data for a track meet was the first time I understood the power of digital data collection."
