Instant Communication for Schools: Arbiter Registration Enhances Family Connectivity

In a transformative step for school communications, Arbiter has unveiled an innovative feature within its Arbiter Registration platform: integrated text messaging. This enhancement will enable schools and districts to foster more immediate and efficient communication with families, addressing everything from registration reminders to important real-time updates—all from a unified platform.

For over 40 years, Arbiter has been recognized as a leader in athletic and event management. This new addition reflects the company's unwavering commitment to improving communication pathways for educational institutions. According to Karen Mogridge, Arbiter's Chief Product Officer, "When it matters most, tech should bring you closer—not slow you down. A quick text can calm a worried parent, solve a problem, or save the day." This philosophy underscores the importance of accessible communication in educational settings.

The launch of text messaging functionality is not isolated; it follows a trend of customer-driven enhancements sparked by direct feedback from schools and districts. Recent updates have included new Injury Management tools, multi-language support, custom reporting fields, and a revitalized user interface designed to facilitate ease of use. The revamped Arbiter Registration Reports page is now more intuitive, offering improved filters and advanced search capabilities to ensure that educators can easily access the data they need.

Arbiter Registration is currently trusted by over three million families across the country, making it a vital tool for schools managing both athletic and non-athletic programs. This comprehensive platform services a wide variety of needs—from clubs and summer camps to school-wide forms and fee collections, all accessible through a single household account. This seamless integration is part of Arbiter’s broader initiative to ensure their platform is future-ready, especially following the company’s recent branding overhaul.

In addition to texting features, these updates are part of Arbiter's ongoing mission to provide schools with effective management tools that reduce manual processes. With over $2 billion in payments processed and millions of registrations handled annually, Arbiter seeks to empower educational institutions by allowing them to focus on creating meaningful experiences for students and their communities.

As schools continue to evolve in their communication strategies, Arbiter stands ready to meet challenges head-on with innovative solutions that prioritize family engagement and streamline administrative tasks.
