Lower school to upper school enrollment

Jennifer Bullis

We recently launched a middle school program to our existing high school. I am interested in knowing how schools have this structured in Blackbaud (two separate schools, on school, etc.). We have different requirements for upper school admission and I am not sure how treat the current 8th grade middle schoolers who will be moving up. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Jennifer, our school is TK-12 and we use different checklists to help distinguish our different programs. I am curious how your requirements differ from Middle to High School (we are currently using the same checklist for both).

Hi Lisa, thanks for responding. All students whether new or coming from the middle school need to take an entrance exam and take placement exams. Just trying to find the best way to handle them in BB since they are already students.

Have you looked at using Student checklists, instead of the EM checklists for applications?
