Problem
Families, educators, and administrators often struggle to locate up-to-date districtwide information on school events, enrollment statistics, and community resources such as mental‑health, housing, and food assistance. The lack of a centralized hub leads to fragmented communication and difficulty accessing expert guidance for student support.
Solution
Kindergarten Counts provides a districtwide information portal that consolidates news, important dates, and resource guides for K‑12 schools in a single, searchable interface. The platform displays real‑time student metrics—including enrollment numbers, graduation rates, and language demographics—and offers a curated learning community where users can engage with subject‑matter experts. By aggregating essential services and event schedules, the portal streamlines access to support resources and keeps stakeholders informed about district initiatives.
Target Audience
Primary users are families of K‑12 students, teachers, and school administrators within the Lake Oswego School District who need consolidated information and resource referrals.
