What K-12 schools ask about
PCR Educator.

What does a K-12 school actually get with PCR Educator?

PCR Educator gives a K-12 school one platform covering every administrative function: student records, grade-based scheduling, attendance, transcripts, and report cards in the SIS; tuition billing, payroll, accounts payable, general ledger, and budget management in the ERP; inquiry tracking, online applications, enrollment contracts, alumni records, and advancement campaigns in the CRM. Parent, student, and faculty portals are included. Every office sees the same student record — there is no sync, no reconciliation, and no manual handoff between systems.

How does PCR Educator handle re-enrollment for K-12 schools?

Re-enrollment in PCR is a workflow, not a manual process. When the re-enrollment window opens, families receive automated outreach through the CRM, complete enrollment contracts through the parent portal, and financial aid decisions update billing automatically. The admissions team sees re-enrollment rates in real time without chasing responses individually. Schools using PCR report re-enrollment cycles that previously required six weeks of staff time completing in one to two. The system tracks yield by grade, program, and scholarship type without exporting data from separate tools.

Can PCR Educator handle multi-campus or multi-division K-12 schools?

Yes. PCR is designed for schools with multiple campuses, divisions (lower, middle, upper), or distinct programs operating under one administrative structure. Each division can have its own scheduling, grading scale, reporting calendar, and billing configuration while sharing one student record and one family account. Finance can run consolidated or division-level reporting. Admissions can track inquiries by division and manage separate application workflows. Schools operating across campuses can assign staff permissions by campus without splitting the database.

What happens to our Blackbaud or Veracross data when we switch?

PCR handles the full migration. Student records, family data, financial history, transcript archives, application records, alumni files, and advancement history all transfer. The migration scope — including which legacy fields map to PCR fields and which require custom handling — is documented before the contract is signed. Schools migrating from Blackbaud or Veracross have completed data migration within the same 90-to-120-day implementation window as the core go-live. PCR provides a validation report confirming record accuracy before the school goes live.

Is the parent portal included, and what can parents do in it?

The parent portal is included with PCR Educator — it is not a separate product or add-on. Parents can view grades, attendance, the school calendar, teacher communications, financial statements, and tuition payment history. They can complete re-enrollment, submit financial aid applications, upload required documents, and access emergency contact and medical forms. For boarding schools, parents can view room assignments and activity schedules. All portal content is served from the same live data parents would expect the front office to have — there is no cache lag or sync delay.
