Beatrice administrators report progress on online registration; district aims for 90% completion before school year
Summary
District administrators reported OLR outreach reduced outstanding registrations from 108 to 16 and described technology and translation barriers; the district plans earlier registration start next year and aims for 90% completion before the first day of school.
Beatrice 'District administrators told the school board the district has made substantial progress getting families to complete online registration (OLR), cutting outstanding registrations from 108 to 16 since a recent outreach push.
Jackie said the OLR includes emergency contacts, medical information, handbook authorizations and technology-use agreements and is used in state funding reports. "We know we disabled Google accounts for students who did not have their OLR completed," Jackie said, explaining the district followed up with families to protect students' access to testing and finals.
She described barriers: some families lack comfort with technology or prefer paper forms, and the Infinite Campus platform does not automatically provide Spanish-language translations for parents, so the district relied on Propio (a translation service) and direct staff assistance. The district plans to start registration work earlier next year (July) and use open-house and summer contacts to try to reach 90% completion before the school year begins.
Administrators said they will continue individualized outreach for families who have not completed registration and will ensure students can access testing devices and final exams while processes are completed.
Next steps include continuing translation support, offering targeted in-person help, and scheduling earlier registration windows to reduce the December workload.
