Chelsea Johnston

I work closely with our McKinney-Vento team to ensure that our children experiencing homelessness have equal opportunity to an education. Served as the primary point of contact, fostering strong relationships between outside agencies and our struggling families. Maintained up-to-date information to secure transportation with the Head of Transportation and better help navigate how the team and district can best serve the family and child(ren).

Primarily accountable for data governance, quality assurance, and strategic management to optimize the organization's data assets.

• Created and ran special reports for different data segments.
• Pay close attention to deadlines that data needs to be inputted, verified, or updated by.
• Monitor and address errors promptly as they arise.
• Work closely with administrator's on BEDS day reporting.
• Push data from Level 0 to Level 2 on a weekly basis.
• Update rosters for ordering regents scantrons that need to be uploaded to the NERIC ServU platform for January, June, and August.
• Use ASAP system to verify regents that were taken previously to ensure correct data is reported.

I currently work in a fast pace environment that deals with prioritizing student needs and meeting daily and weekly deadlines. I assist with scheduling appointments, maintaining student records, and managing communication between students, parents, and the counselor.

• Maintained confidentiality while handling sensitive information related to personnel matters or school projects.
• Scheduling appointments for students, staff, or families to meet with counselors.
• Created spreadsheets to help the Guidance Office stay organized and on top of high prioritized tasks such as Seaway Tech interest, regents retakes, diploma types and pathways for graduating students.
• Answering phone calls and emails in a timely manner. I was efficient in directing inquiries to the appropriate staff.
• Organized school events and meetings, ensuring all necessary arrangements were made for smooth execution. I had a big hand in the Award Ceremonies, Graduation, and Open House events.
• I am well versed with Schooltool. I work closely with the Administration to input master schedules, update transcripts, set configurations from school year to school year, print and mail report cards for each term and fix errors we receive from the Data Warehouse team.
• I work closely with the New York Sate DMV to submit Driver Education rosters as well as request MV-285 Forms for the Driver Instructor to provide for students that pass the class. I also file for duplicate certificates if a student misplaces theirs and needs a new one.
• Enrollment is a very detail oriented piece of my job. Working closely with your group of administrator's, nurse and head of transportation to plan for a smooth transition for the student and family. Help prepare the family with who the students teacher(s) will be, bus pick up and drop off times, and help them navigate the different tools your district uses for communication. You have to be sure to pay attention to detail when adding a student into the Schooltool database. You first want to make sure you have all the paperwork you need. Next you need to make sure that student has never been inputted in your database before by doing a simple census search. If you have duplicate personnel in the database it can cause problems for things such as testing or ordering regents. You then want to be sure all the data goes in correctly. Demographical errors could cost the district funding and you always want to report the correct facts to New York State.
