Karen Matthews is a School Counselor at Noblesville High School. Here is her tech stack!
📆 Google Calendar
Walk into Karen's peaceful office space at the high school, and you'll likely notice a paper planner on her desk. She relies on a paper planner paired with Google Calendar.
🟪 ParentSquare
She loves that ParentSquare syncs with PowerSchool, and families can choose how they want to receive notifications-- text, email, or app. Karen's new favorite tech move is Secure Document Delivery. From ParentSquare:
🔮 MagicSchool
Karen recently created a custom ChatBot in MagicSchool to support students and their families with preparation for the PSAT. She liked that she could later see individual interactions and spot-check for accuracy. Karen was especially impressed by the positive, friendly responses that often included additional suggestions, such as, "Don't forget to bring a fully charged iPad and pencil!"
📊 Google Sheets
Karen is also the Testing Coordinator for NHS. She recently completed some self-paced courses to level up her Google Sheets skills. V-lookup? Filtering by condition? She knows how!
🔏 Securly Pass
Securly Pass is the software our middle and high schools use to manage hall passes. Karen feels like there was a learning curve, but now loves the option to create group passes for WIDA testing.

Use Secure Document Delivery to not only safeguard sensitive information but also save significant time, thousands of dollars, and an extensive amount of paper. Gain valuable insights into delivery statistics, providing visibility into recipients who haven’t received these important documents and might need additional follow-up.
