Case Study: Providence Day School eliminates postage and printing costs, saves weeks of work, and improves data integrity with Blackbaud Online Re-enrollment

Providence Day School Eliminates Postage and Printing Costs While Saving Time and Increasing Data Integrity

Providence Day School, a 1,500‑student independent college‑preparatory in Charlotte, NC, faced a time‑consuming, costly paper re‑enrollment process: staff spent more than three weeks each term printing, stuffing and mailing forms and about $3,000 on postage, and the school needed to modernize its systems to reduce manual data entry and errors.

By implementing Blackbaud’s Online Re‑enrollment with pre‑populated web forms that feed directly into The Education Edge, parents can review, update and submit information electronically. The move eliminated the $3,000 postage bill per term, cut roughly three weeks of work, achieved a 98% online re‑enrollment rate in the first session, and—together with online report cards—removed the cost and labor of printing and mailing about 9,000 report cards annually.
