myLottery Timely Tasks

Review lottery dashboard

Why important?

Ensure spots not being held up by stale applications

Before running a lottery, review the Dashboard to 'zero out' the following categories (2 and 3 will hold up available spots):

Action Required

Enter school capacity #s

Why important?

Optimize the spots you offer during high enrollment season

Update school capacity numbers! Go to Lottery / Lottery tab / select the school year / add numbers under School Capacity. This should be the full capacity by grade level, not the number of openings. 

Schools don’t need to “count” spots every time a lottery is run; myLottery calculates this under Remaining Seats Available.

Review sales funnel messages + timing

Why important?

Ensure marketing language is optimal and messages are accurate

Sales funnels are the perfect place to showcase your school! Promote videos and interviews, tours, information events—get families excited about your school.

Don't forget about your text messages—parents are more likely to read text over email.
