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.

The most helpful element of SchoolStatus is the ability to document behavior or celebrate a student with a parent immediately. The ability to shoot a text makes all the difference in the world! In this fast-paced world, teachers often forget to make phone calls at the end of the day; however, with the ability to send a text immediately, that mistake can be avoided. Sending a text also relieves the pressure on teachers and parents to find time to make contact about a student. Working parents can respond whenever they get a chance and teachers have a running documentation of contact. The Broadcast message helps me send updates, reminders, and instructions to parents and students regularly.

The parent receives instant contact. Many parents respond quickly.
