Case Study: Union Hill Elementary School achieves 300+ staff hours saved and streamlined enrollment with SchoolMint

How Union Hill Got Their Staff’s Time Back

Union Hill Elementary School, a TK–6 charter near the Tahoe mountains, was overwhelmed by a paper-based, time-consuming enrollment process that required one staff member to manually enter applications for 2–3 hours a day from August through December. To handle complex applications, waitlists and outreach while preserving strong family engagement and student supports, they turned to SchoolMint’s online Strategic Enrollment Management solution (including Application & Lottery Management).

SchoolMint replaced stacks of paper with a secure, multilingual mobile portal that captures applications, documents and registrations directly into admin dashboards, enables automated messaging and waitlist management, and surfaces needs like IEPs and custody flags. As a result, SchoolMint helped Union Hill become virtually paperless, saved over 300 hours per year in manual data entry, improved parent communication (reducing no‑pickups and speeding volunteer responses), and gave staff time back to focus on family engagement and student services.
