Tools for School and Student Success
Technology for Collaboration
The Portal by New Visions is a student planning and school management tool that empowers educators with the data they need to improve student outcomes. Each year, we launch dozens of new features developed in deep collaboration with educators and partners to meet the authentic challenges they face in their day-to-day work.
In NYC, over 40,000 children live in shelters. These students face some of the greatest obstacles to success in school. Through groundbreaking interagency collaboration, New Visions is working to ensure that students and their families facing housing insecurity get the support they need. 250 + school-based advocates across the Bronx used the Portal to connect 650+ students and their families in shelters to essential services, thanks to the Every Child and Family is Known initiative
92 % of NYC public schools actively used the Portal to guide student planning in 2024, improving graduation and attendance rates
This was the first year that Uniondale High School has ever exceeded a 90% graduation rate. The Portal was a key tool in reaching that achievement. We used it to target and organize support for our students based on their progress towards graduation. The New Visions team’s collaborative approach empowered our staff to provide effective and timely graduation support.
During my career as a public servant, I have not seen this sort of collaborative interagency effort be so effective at this scale. It truly is groundbreaking and I am honored to be a part of it. Darma V. Diaz
NEW PORTAL FEATURE! Our updated Network Dashboard now includes longitudinal attendance data, allowing district users to see year-over-year attendance trends, identify where direct support is most needed, and highlight bright spots.
The Portal has enhanced our ability to make sure that our students who live in shelters get the best support possible. Shelter staff and administrators at Students in Temporary Housing collaborate using the Portal to ensure supports such as attendance teacher visits are available to the students most in need.
