One ranked source of truth
Replace spreadsheet tabs with live waitlist stages, rank bands, fees, and child details.
Parent communication stays clear
Families see stable status language, tour steps, and updates without exposing exact queue numbers.
Tours move with the pipeline
Booked visits, reminders, cancellations, and staff follow-up are tied back to each family.
Emergency openings move fast
Directors can reach opted-in families for urgent rooms while keeping a logged audit trail.
Parent-facing clarity
Families know what changed and what to do next.
Rank bands keep expectations honest without publishing exact positions that can shift daily.
Lifecycle emails cover applications, payments, tours, offers, enrollment, withdrawals, and urgent openings.
Schools keep a notification history for staff review instead of relying on inbox memory.
Notifications that match the operational moment.
Routine lifecycle updates respect parent email preferences. Emergency openings and staff-critical events stay high priority and are still logged.
