Onboarding Overview

  • Updated

Welcome to Twine!

This document outlines our onboarding process and general timeline for planning purposes. For each phase we’ll provide additional details and structured spreadsheets for data collection. In most cases our technical implementation for Twine Essentials can be completed in as little as 2 weeks, allowing users to begin logging in and learning the system.

Twine Essentials Implementation

Setup of Twine Essentials provides the core functionality for staff, student and parent access.  Onboarding typically begins with these functions, and progresses to Twine Complete features once access and training for core functions is complete.
