Still chasing down transcripts by hand, one paper file at a time?
Paper has been the default for K-12 records for decades. It's familiar… but familiar isn't the same as working. Paper records are slow to fulfill, easy to lose, costly to store, and hard to track. And every request stuck in a pile is a student, family, or staff member left waiting.
After this quick quiz, you’ll see to what degree paper is holding your district back, and what breaking up with it could look like.
What this quiz reveals about your records process.
Six questions lead to four possible outcomes, and the next steps for your district to get your records ready for the years ahead. The quiz measures:
- How fast you fulfill a records or transcript request
- How much staff time your current process takes
- How well your records are protected against damage or disaster
- How easily students, alumni, and families can get their records
- How much of your diploma and credential processes still run on paper
- How confidently you can track requests and prove compliance
A modern records process saves time as it cuts costs. Parchment by Instructure helps you protect your student records so you can break up with paper for good.
