The School Registrar is responsible for the accuracy, organization, maintenance, and coordination of THRIVE Academy's student information, enrollment, records, and data systems.
The Registrar serves as a central connection between THRIVE Academy, students and families, member school districts, staff, and district administration. This position manages student enrollment from initial application through enrollment, ongoing attendance and records management, state and district reporting, and eventual withdrawal, transition, or reintegration.
Because nearly every student-related system depends upon accurate information, the Registrar plays a critical role in the effective operation of THRIVE Academy.
The successful Registrar must be highly organized, detail-oriented, technologically proficient, trustworthy, patient, kind, and capable of managing multiple complex systems while maintaining exceptional confidentiality and professionalism.

  • Protect confidential information through appropriate file permissions.
  • Develop or improve spreadsheets and digital systems when operational needs arise.
  • Maintain data consistency between Google Workspace records, Infinite Campus, and other school systems.

6. Member District Coordination
Because THRIVE Academy serves students from multiple school districts, the Registrar serves as an important operational liaison with member and resident districts.

Communication & Customer Service
The Registrar regularly interacts with families who may be confused, frustrated, anxious, overwhelmed, or unfamiliar with THRIVE's processes. Families should feel that the person helping them wants to help them, even when the answer is complicated or additional information is required.

  • Maintain secure electronic and physical records.
  • Protect records, data, and documents from unauthorized access.
