Did you know the average text message is read within 3 minutes of being sent, while only 20% of emails are even opened? When communicating from school to home, direct communication via text messaging is clearly much more effective. But...teachers, coaches, and administrators would have to use their personal cell phones and there's no record of communication...right? Wrong!
With a branded mobile app from SchoolInfo, the conversations feature allows for messaging right in the app. This includes both one-on-one communication and group messages. Plus, there's a record of the communication in your dashboard. But wait...there's more! If your app is synced to your student information system (SIS), all the contact information can be synced to your app.
When can this be helpful?
- Connecting with hard-to-reach families
- Sending out reminders to parents for special events
- Keeping staff up-to-date on important information
- Urgent communication: weather closings, facilities issues, or any other emergency
- Well—the list could go on and on!
Essentially, using the conversations feature in your branded mobile app is a simple way to modernize your communication and ensure your message is read! Don't have an app but know you need one? Request a demo with our team!
