Case Study: The Montessori School of Manhattan achieves mobile, always-on parent communication and emergency readiness with Blackbaud's onMessage & onCampus

Montessori School of Manhhattan - Customer Case Study

The Montessori School of Manhattan is a private school for children ages two to six that emphasizes respect, courtesy, and lifelong learning. Facing parents’ expectations for a seamless, mobile experience and having outgrown its legacy management system, the school needed consolidated, mobile-friendly tools for everyday operations and emergency communication—an urgency made clear when Superstorm Sandy cut power and access to the campus for a week.

MSM implemented Blackbaud’s onMessage and onCampus to provide a responsive website, Pushpages two-way alerts, and mobile access to centralized student data. The systems let staff instantly verify pickup permissions and access health records from phones or tablets, enabled rapid family outreach during crises, and streamlined administrative tasks—improving security, communication, and parent confidence.
