Michael: My name is Michael. I am the CEO of a private school network, and we rate PraxiSchool at a 5. We actually didn't have a product before PraxiSchool. We just opened this year, and so we were seeking out a student information system. We looked at several different models, and Praxi was an all-in one school option for us that allowed us to have income generating, contact tracing, and all of the other student information system pieces that we needed to be able to report to state. And so they were the option that we chose to go with. We chose PraxiSchool because the cost was in the range that we were looking for. It was actually a lot cheaper than what we expected, and it had an all in one platform that also allowed us to have document storage. We did not want to be a school that had documents on hand. So what we did when parents would bring us documentation is that we would scan it immediately and hand it back to the parent and PraxiSchool allowed us that option. It also had all of the things that we were looking for, like the communication tools for tracking attendance, and just the ways in which it made it very easy to communicate with our families. So, Praxi was the all in one that we were seeking. And like I said, the price was great. The startup for Praxi was very easy. We were assigned a startup team who met with us and our team and really walked us through, had several virtual trainings that we attended that were one-on-one trainings. They were really directed to us and for us. They had collected a lot of information about our school at the beginning, and so they built everything around our needs. And so the training was great. And then their resource department, as we implemented PraxiSchool for the first time, you're going to run into difficulties and they were great and fast in their response. Always wonderful to get online one-on-one with you and solve the problem. So, my advice for anybody thinking about PraxiSchool is don't take too long to think about it. It really is an all-in-one platform that's great, cost-effective, and delivers on all of the pieces that a school is looking for. I would just recommend that as you're diving in, get as many people involved, including the teachers, in the implementation and the beginning training and all. It's just great to have them very knowledgeable from the beginning, but again, even if they're not, it's a very user-friendly platform that makes sense to anybody. And so, just don't hesitate. Go for it.
