School Announcement offers school administrators the ability to communicate with student families and staff via social media, email, voice and SMS text messaging. By utilizing these preferred communication channels, users can reach hundreds and thousands of individuals efficiently and reliably within minutes.
"We are thrilled to be launching a new and improved School Announcement product to the market," stated Dave Baeder, CEO of Alert Solutions. "The communication needs of schools are always evolving, and Alert Solutions is committed to providing school administrators with the most efficient way to communicate with parents, students, staff and community members."
School Announcement's new Mobile Command Center is a convenient mobile version that allows users to send messages to student families and staff directly from their mobile phone. School administrators can launch and monitor their social media pages, email, voice and SMS text messages in a moment's notice wherever they are – drastically improving emergency response time.
Schools will also be able to make faster and more informed decisions regarding weather-related closings and delays with the new Weather Monitor – a feature that automatically sends administrators alerts of severe weather approaching their school or district.
Additional features within School Announcement 4.0 include the SIS Integration Tool, a tool that creates a seamless daily update cycle between a school's Student Information System (SIS) and School Announcement, as well as Speak Up!, an anonymous two-way communication platform for event safety, bullying and harassment mitigation.
