Background

Yellowknife Education District No. 1 is a public school board that serves approximately 2, 200 students across six schools in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories and provides superintendency services to the nearby community schools of Ndilo and Dettah. Since 1939, Yellowknife Education District No. 1 has provided quality education to Northern students and today the district continues to ensure all students receive the best possible educational programs, experiences and opportunities. Being the home of Yellowknife's first school, Yellowknife Education District No. 1’s rich history includes being the longest-operating school board in the Northwest Territories. From these humble beginnings, Yellowknife Education District No. 1 has also become the Northwest Territories’ largest school district.

The Problem

Starting with the desire to re-design all nine of its current websites, Yellowknife Education District No. 1 needed a solution that would be able to showcase their quality educational programs and state-of-the-art schools to new and existing families for years to come. Over the years it had become a challenge to keep their existing websites up to date in both information and style. They needed a solution that was easy to use and would have a more modern look and feel to their websites.

“We were looking for a solution that would give us a modern look and feel while encouraging our schools to consistently utilize the platform.” - Mike Gibbins, Communications, Yellowknife Education District No. 1

The Solution

SchoolBundle was chosen by Yellowknife Education District No.1 after an RFP looking carefully at previous experience, current team, design methodology and scalability. When looking at various solutions, SchoolBundle stood out for Yellowknife Education District No. 1 as the platform with the most value.  Our expertise and long-standing experience with school districts gave them confidence in choosing SchoolBundle to help their district with their unique challenges and help them reach out on new channels such as the mobile app.

“SchoolBundle impressed us with their portfolio of work and the scalability of their platform that is clearly built specifically for school districts. The functionality of the SchoolBundle platform will help us provide the best service to our community.” Martin Male, Manager, Technology Services, Yellowknife Education District No. 1
