St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School

St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School is one of those K-8 schools where you know your child would be happy as soon as you walk in the door.

  • Broadcast Email
  • Carpool App
  • School Portal
  • Senior Systems Integration

That sense of community needed to translate to the website, but after a significant effort on the marketing and positioning side, St. Patrick’s also recognized that its strong academic program and clear vision would resonate most with the families most likely considering them for their children.

Silverpoint and St. Pat’s were both thrilled with the results of the second generation website it launched in the summer of 2011, six years after the first site went live. The homepage profiles provide a glimpse of the children who attend, and the external site as a whole is meant to be simple, clean and elegant. A major enhancement is HoundNet, which is a re-imagining of their parent portal and a significant priority.

Behind the scenes, data flows from their Senior Systems database nightly and parents can login via SSO to myBackpack. Silverpoint’s carpool application allows parents to find other parents who live near them, a huge hit.

This is St. Patrick's 8th year as a Silverpoint School. When we first hired Angelo Otterbein and his team to help us build a new site, we were in a completely different place with communications and marketing than we are today -- much because of what Silverpoint has put in our hands with SchoolSuite. Our website was a static holder of information about our school. Today our website shares new daily content with all of our parents, faculty, students and alumni. Even more exciting, we have managed to merge our brand messaging into our site with the design team from Silverpoint. The web is the primary interface we have with the people who know us and those who don't. With Silverpoint, we have the flexibility to constantly reassess the conversation we are having in that space.
