Case Study: Seacrest Country Day School achieves streamlined school calendars and 228-hour time savings with Finalsite

Seacrest Country Day School - Customer Case Study

Seacrest Country Day School in Naples, FL, faced growing communication problems rooted in an outdated, manual calendar system. When webmaster Meghan Easterly inherited a process that funneled paper requests into a single Outlook calendar and required retyping events across more than 20 calendars (about eight hours a week), the system unraveled after the primary calendar keeper left — putting school-to-home communication and day-to-day scheduling at risk.

Meghan migrated Seacrest to Finalsite’s calendar management and set up an employee portal with an Event Scheduler tied to a single Master Calendar embedded in the LMS. Events are entered once, conflicts are shown immediately, and administrators approve changes, eliminating duplication. The switch saved 228 staff hours (nearly six weeks) and almost $5,000, while giving teachers, front office staff and parents real-time access to public and feedable calendars across the website, mobile site and LMS.
