Changing Grades in Breeze

Changing Grades in Breeze

Breeze Church Management

Digital giving apps and tools

As the school year comes to a close kindergartners will soon be 1st graders, 8th graders are beginning to consider themselves to be freshman, and graduation caps are flying for those wrapping up their high school years.

If your church has joined Breeze over the past school year, you might have questions on what you'll need to do to ensure your grades are up-to-date in Breeze.

The short answer is: nothing at all.

Breeze automatically increments grades up by one each school year.  By default this is on June 15 but you're able to adjust this within your Account Settings.

Grades Promote On

(For those of you who like to know the inner-workings: technically speaking, Breeze simply stores a person's anticipated high school graduation date and calculates the actual grade label off of that on-the-fly.  The date above tells Breeze when to switch to the next grade label.)

Updating Classrooms

For churches who keep track of specific classrooms by tag, after the graduation date you'll be able to update your tags accordingly (tags do not automatically update as the tag names assigned intetionally do not connect directly to grades).

For example, let's say you had a tag labeled "K - 3rd".  Everyone from Kindergarten through 3rd grade should be in this tag.

Assuming your data was correct before, after the graduation date passes the people in this tag will actually be 1st - 4th grade.  To remove the 4th graders and add in the new Kindergartner's then:

  1. Run a search for all 4th graders in the tag
  2. Untag them all at once
  3. Run a search for all kindergartners
  4. Tag them all at once

Using this tool you should be able to bring all of your classrooms up-to-date for the new school year in a matter of minutes.

We hope this allows you to fly through the tasks of getting your data ready for the coming school year and gives you a chance to enjoy the sun this summer!

All of our database needs have been more than met, it's easier to use than the last database we had, and the price is amazing - what a value this has been to our church! All of our staff can use this software and they do regularly. We use it to track…literally anything a church could possibly need to track regarding it's attenders.

Breeze has been a great asset to our church and congregation. Especially from an administrative standpoint, it has been the most adaptable and easiest church database I have ever used. The features from blast emails to giving on-line, and texting have been one of our greatest assets. Thank you!

We switched from a major, web-based ChMS to Breeze and our decision is confirmed every day. We are a medium size church and we use Breeze for contributions, member management, event checkin and a few other applications custom to our church. I had trouble getting any staff to use our previous ChMS but almost all staff are using Breeze. The product is very well designed, extremely easy to learn and use and customer service is incredible.

Breeze has opened the communication highway for our congregation and staff, with very little training. Because members can update their own records and search easily for other members - and map their locations, send emails and text right from Breeze, they love it and our data is more real-time accurate. Our ministries are stronger, because they can trust the data in Breeze, which is easily accessed anywhere, anytime.

Breeze is the first ChMS my volunteers have actually embraced. That's because it's so easy to use. The software is very flexible and gives us the opportunity to make decisions based on actual data we've collected and not just hunches or stories we believe to be true.

I cannot say enough about Breeze. Their customer service is so friendly, you feel like you have friends and family helping you get started, they're prompt to reply and will do whatever they can to help you get things sorted out. It's been so easy to learn, our staff is loving it and best of all even our staff who are not computer savvy find it a breeze (pun intended). We are just thrilled by our choice.

From the start of our process looking for an online solution, Breeze has exceeded all our expectations. Fast data import, fast and friendly customer support, and we can’t say enough about how much we like the program itself. Very well designed and user friendly. On a scale of 1-10, Breeze gets a 15 from us!
