# Nominating a SchoolsBuddy Lead

{% hint style="success" %}
In order to achieve a successful kick-off and to maintain the ongoing success of SchoolBuddy within your school, we strongly recommend that you nominate a **SchoolsBuddy Lead**. Depending on the size of the school, this could be a Systems Management Team Lead, School Application Coordinator or the Head of School.

### Key Tasks & Responsibilities

* Join the kick-off call and talk about the schools goals for using the software

* They will receive the final graduation email and meet the School Experience Manager

* Meeting with the school’s Account Manager post-implementation to discuss any issues
* Ensuring that new staff members are introduced to the platform and know where they can receive help

### Additional Attendees

As there are many different modules in SchoolsBuddy that involve different teams, we ask that the SchoolsBuddy Lead round up and communicate who should attend each meeting. 

The SchoolsBuddy Lead does not necessary have to join each of the calls, but it is recommended to reinforce the overall vision and goals and so that they are aware of how the different modules have been set up for the school.
