In our last blog post, Why does text messaging matter? you learned why direct messaging is the most effective way to reach someone. Sending a personal message gives the sender a sense of comfort, knowing their message is being delivered to the right person at the right time.
With a branded mobile app by SchoolInfo, the conversations feature allows app users to communicate either one-on-one or in group messages. Some information may be important to only one person or a particular group of people, but not to the entire school. Here are 10 ways your community can use conversations to connect.
- A teacher sends a student's parent a direct message to schedule a parent-teacher conference
- Basketball practice time has changed, so the coach sends an update in the team's group chat
- An administrator boosts morale by announcing staff birthdays in the teachers and staff group message
- A teacher wants to remind her entire class that the bus for tomorrow's field trip will leave at 8 am
- An administrator needs to reach out to only the History department
- A teacher sends an attachment of the assignment missed to an absent student
- The prom committee sends weekly tasks that need to be completed in their group message
- A teacher sends a direct message to a student's parent to remind them to bring in their Show and Tell item
- The class president sends out the meeting agenda prior to the student council meeting
- An administrator needs to communicate with the parent volunteers' group about the upcoming event
Not only will your staff and students/parents be able to connect to create a cohesive and engaging community, but with a branded mobile app by SchoolInfo, you can keep a record of all those conversations for monitoring purposes.
