Thriva - Feedback

Many schools start with registering for one event. You use online registration for all of programs, events, classes, donations and supplies.

"Thriva has been great for us; we now use the system for all major dances, our student fundraiser, and athletic booster signups. We are hopeful that in the future this will be the ONLY way people donate to make the process more streamlined...and so we have less money changing hands on campus (the IRS folks are happier with online!) and we can process everything in the same place."

All Users - Connect With FACEBOOK

Connecting With Facebook

Social media is a great way for organizations to connect with the customers and participants. One of the most popular social networking sites is Facebook. To start taking advantage of this media create a Facebook page for your organization. These pages look like an individual’s Facebook page and your patrons can “fan” you and follow your posts. You can include information like open and close times, invite people to upcoming events and even share media like photos and videos. It’s an easy way for your participants to stay connected and for you to get the word out about upcoming events and activities.

-Freezing Screen-

There are generally a few very simple steps you can take to remedy a freezing screen. If you see any screen in the management system cutting part of it off, I would try re-sizing the browser window. You can do this by double-clicking on the title bar or hit the ‘Maximize’ box.

In most cases this will immediately cause the management system to re-draw the window and should remedy the problem. If this doesn’t work then I would make sure that the temporary files for your internet browser have been cleared out, and restart the browser. Here are the steps to clear those files out:

For Internet Explorer versions 7 and 8:

1. Open a new browser window, preferably not the Thriva login page.
2. From the menu options, choose Tools > Internet Options
3. Under the section titled ‘Browsing History’ click the ‘Delete’ button
4. Under the section labeled ‘Temporary Internet Files’ click the ‘Delete files…’ button.
5. Optionally, click the ‘Delete cookies’ button under the section labeled ‘Cookies’.

For Mozilla Firefox version 3.0.8 for PC or Mac:

1. Go to Tools > Clear Private Data
2. Check the boxes to clear your ‘Cache’ and ‘Cookies’
3. Click the ‘Clear Private Data Now’ button.

After completing these steps please be sure to close the browser down completely to finalize the process, and then re-log in and things should load a bit quicker and hopefully any strange display issues will also be cured.

Please let me know if you have tried these steps and are still having issues, but I think you’ll be happy with the results!

All Schools - Increase Revenue Streams

Drive New Revenue for Your Schools & Districts with Partnership Marketing
Please join us for this free webinar. Space is limited so please register in advance.

Thursday - October 1st, 2009 1:00pm PDT - 1 Hour

Meeting Description:

ActiveEducate is proud to present the first in a series of Webinars that will explore the avenues available to school and district administrators to develop new revenue streams.

By implementing partnership marketing strategies and using technology, cities, communities, schools and universities are effectively battling their budget issues. You’ll learn, for example, how the City of Long Beach, CA, has leveraged their access to the private sector and developed a partnership with Coca Cola to raise critically needed funds, and how schools and districts like yours can do the same.

In addition, we’ll discuss how to:

• Identify unique and different ways to raise revenues for schools

• Understand Green marketing partnerships

• Use school system assets in an appropriate manner

• Leverage fallow assets

• More than just advertise – it’s about access and distribution

• Create partnerships with long-term benefits
