Design a Lottery Process That Works for You

SELECT A LOTTERY TYPE

Place applicants into schools based on a weighted lottery system or by points that are customized to your school or district criteria. Set up multiple lottery types with different settings to be used for different selection processes.

CUSTOMIZE TO THE NEEDS OF EACH SCHOOL

Combine points, flags, filters, limits, and other controls, drawing on any data stored in the Synergy ecosystem – including user defined fields – to create equitable placement requirements for each school and program

MANAGE COMMUNICATION TIMING

Finalize a lottery and push the results out separately for greater flexibility around communicating with families.

Make It Easy for Families & Staff

Students-Families

 

Collect Applications in ParentVUE

Enable parents to complete lottery applications through the ParentVUE® web portal or mobile app. Families applying to the district for the first time can create a ParentVUE account for the lottery process.

Let Families Check Application Statuses

Give families the ability to check a student’s lottery status and/or waitlist position anytime on their Synergy Lottery status page. The waitlist updates automatically as students accept school placements.

Provide Registration Packets Upon Acceptance

Include the appropriate online registration or verification packets for their students when they accept their placement. 

Support Multiple Languages

Allow parents to view screens and receive emails in their preferred language.

Offer Staff a Familiar User Interface

Access lottery setup and management screens conveniently in Synergy Online Registration.

Students No Background

Be Fair & Transparent

Run Test Lotteries
Run a test of any lottery in your test or training environment to ensure that results are accurate and consistent with expectations.

Verify Lottery Pools
Require that every application is marked as reviewed to ensure that all eligible students are included when a lottery is run.

Provide Lottery Presentations
Present lottery runs in real-time while protecting sensitive student information.

Automate Status Updates
Send email notifications automatically via Synergy Mail any time the student’s application status changes.

Keep an Audit Trail
Track the complete change history for every lottery run in case an audit trail is required for application or placement process transparency. Easily differentiate parent and staff changes in color-coded Review mode.
