Santa’s secret school hack

November 29th 2024

If your school staff are still debating what ask Santa for this festive season, here’s a suggestion: an easy-to-use platform to simplify all the Christmas activities and planning. We could have exactly the gift your school needs this holiday season, and no one knows this better than Santa himself:

At the School of Elves, it’s Christmas all year round. We know how difficult it is to manually take care of payments, form submissions, and shop items! With VenturEd Solutions, our elves have never been happier and this year’s Christmas activities planning has been a whole lot easier. Ho ho ho!

The holidays are a special time to bring your school community together, strengthening bonds with students’ families while celebrating the season. But with all the planning involved—like nativities, Christmas dinners, and panto trips—preparations can quickly pile up. Take a leaf out of Santa’s book and discover how we can help make this time of year easier for everyone.

Festive Forms

The elves love using our digital forms to collect children’s Christmas wish lists. Some ideas of how Forms can help you around Christmas time:

  • Gather dietary information before your Christmas dinner
  • Request parental consent for photos and videos during your nativity play
  • Collect e-signatures for panto trip RSVPs.

Parental Payments

Santa swears by our payments systems for managing present deliveries from the North Pole. Your school can use it to simplify payments for staff and families alike. Here’s how:

  • Collect payment for panto trips
  • Enable pre-booking and pre-payment for Christmas dinner
  • Sell festive items in your school shop
  • Accept voluntary donations for the school or local charities
  • Organise pre-paid spots for holiday clubs

The perfect present for your school community

Switching from manual processes to digital tools reduces stress, leaving everyone more excited about the season, and saves significant amounts of time for your staff. This Christmas, give your school community a new gift and enjoy smoother, happier holiday planning.
