What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I love SchoolStatus. It allows me to quickly and easily communicate with the families of my students. I like that I can send broadcasts to multiple families at once as well as individual messages. Communication with families is such an important part of a child's education, and I have received the most feedback from parents when I use this app versus some other means of communication. It is great for sending short reminders, and it is easy for families to check and respond to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

I haven't found many downsides to SchoolStatus. The app continues to be improved. Occasionally, it takes a bit to load a message, but that could just be a connection issue rather than the app itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SchoolStatus solving and how is that benefiting you?

My school district currently uses Seesaw as one of its main forms of communication. However, I work in a low-income school, and many of my families don't have internet access. However, almost if not all of them have a cellphone that can receive and send text messages, and that's what I love most about Seesaw! It allows be to connect with ALL my families.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

SchoolStatus allows me to communicate easily with parents or guardians. I am able to send pictures or pdfs of things that students can work on at home. It allows the user to unsubscribe, for example, if a parent gets a new phone number and does not update it in the system. I also really enjoy the fact that I can call or text parents/guardians without having to give my personal number out. I am able to easily use and implement the fact that I can contact all parents as many times as I want. It also stores all of the messages between me and the parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

The least helpful thing about SchoolStatus is that you cannot unsend a message. If you accidentally send a message to the wrong parent or grab the wrong picture, you have made a bit of a snafu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SchoolStatus solving and how is that benefiting you?

SchoolSTatus allows me to keep parents apprised of what is happening in my classroom along with what is upcoming. Students know that I contact their parents on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SchoolStatus solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use SchoolStatus to help contact parents for a variety of reasons. If I have a discipline issue that I need to solve, I can text parents right away. I also use it to help with attendance issues. When I have a student who has missed consecutive days, I text the parents and I usually get a response ninety-five percent of the time. This insures that we are developing a relationship with the parents while stressing the importance of attendance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I have worked in other schools that do not have school status. What I like about this program is that you can still have parent communication without needing to be at a school landline. This program also codes your personal number, so parents do not have access to it. Another plus is that you can message parents by texting. It seems more and more parents prefer this method of communication is straight and to the point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

Parents being able to communicate with you at any point of the day can also become tiresome. It is possible that this program may have a setting to set "Office hours", but I have not discovered it yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SchoolStatus solving and how is that benefiting you?

School Status allows great communication with ease. Somtimes parents are at work so I can send them a quick text message for them to reply to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
