Case Study: Bishop John J. Snyder High School saves teacher time and automates parent notifications with Orah

Bishop John J. Snyder High School saves 1,600+ teacher hours with Orah

Bishop John J. Snyder High School, a Catholic day school, faced a challenge with a highly manual attendance process that was entirely dependent on a single staff member. Their previous system for tracking attendance and notifying parents required printing reports and making up to 80 individual calls daily, and the process failed completely when the administrator was absent. The school implemented Orah, a student safety and attendance platform that integrates with their FACTS SIS, to automate these tasks.

The Orah solution automated attendance tracking and parent notifications, eliminating the need for manual calls. Its seamless integration and easy-to-use Chrome extension led to full teacher adoption within just two weeks. The results were significant, saving over 1600 teacher hours on attendance annually and freeing over 200 admin hours from manual notifications. Most notably, Orah replaced the 80+ daily manual parent calls with fully automated, reliable notifications.
