    Online District Registration Portal

    CTE’s face a unique challenge in managing the process of scheduling students into a variety of courses and classes from multiple school districts. Traditionally, this process has occurred using a paper-based application process, where counselors from each district would hand-write the names, addresses, and demographic data of students, who wish to schedule for one or more courses at the CTE. With ClassMate’s innovative Online District Registration Portal, this method of shuffling papers and manual data entry is eliminated for both District and CTE’s counselors alike!

A word from the first school in New York State to implement ClassMate data management:

‘As the first school in New York State to utilize the ClassMate data management system ClassLink should be commended for their exemplary efforts in providing excellent service and resources and making ClassMate a model data management system for CTE (career & technical education) in New York State. Implementation of the ClassMate system at Sullivan BOCES has raised the level of accountability for our staff, added credibility to our programs, and has “taken the blinders off” for administrators in looking at program and student data.

The commitment, leadership and dedication of Kathy Ritch and her staff has been instrumental in our success in using ClassMate. The ability to produce customized reports and data in more efficient and accurate manner has gained much recognition from local and state agencies. The ClassMate staff and the service they provide defines ‘going above and beyond.’ A few noteworthy components: the arranged user groups, webinars, written documentation and the Lunch & Learn sessions are most impactful. Together, these working parts form true results.’

- Deborah Theysohn, Supervisor Career and Technical Education
-Sullivan County BOCES

“I was most impressed with the vast knowledge of vocational education throughout the ClassMate personnel. They are willing to help in anyway and also willing to listen to ideas you may have to improve their system. The system was a wise choice for our school and I will highly recommend their product to others.”

Mr. Kurt Lynch, Director of Vocational Education
