My president wants us to get every family who will be reenrolling for next year to review and update profile info. about the parents. Specifically, he wants, for each family, to have a parent go through and verify that that parent, and the other parent [if applicable] has current employment info.
He wants us to track this and ensure that every family actually does it.
I've thought of a couple options, but none does it completely. I put them [and their inadequacies] out below and I would appreciate any input as I might be missing something obvious. ?
Opt. 1: The Reenrollment Form - good for determining who's planning to return, but can't elicit profile change info.
Opt. 2: A Profile Update School Form - This would work, but for many of our families, only one parent actually interacts with BEM. Often, the other parent doesn't even have a login. It's not possible for, say, an active mother to update the Business section of her husband's profile from within the form.
Opt. 3: Allow Spouses to Update Each other's profiles - we actually already allow this. The problem is, there is no way to explicitly ask [or require] the family to do the review and update.
The closest we could come, it seems, is to assign a simple form to both parents and track their completion of it. It would simply have a statement in there that says something like, “I confirm that I have kept my information and that of my child's other parent's information up to date”.
Opt. 4: [this is a stretch] Introduce an Application for Next Year for all (Returning) Current Students.
I'm still investigating this one. I'm remembering that the application is the one place where a parent can enter/update info about a spouse. Still looking into this, but wanted to get this out to you all.
I'm hoping while processing the applications, any changes will be put into the records.
Thanks for any input.
