SchoolStatus Connect understands that School Leaders need to send Announcements to parents and students in different ways depending on their importance and urgency. It gives admins additional important capabilities to ensure every family can be reached successfully.
1. Priority Announcements or urgent communications that broadcast immediately to all available contacts
2. Public Broadcast allows the same content to be publicly viewable
3. Voice Broadcast allows voice messages to be sent to phone numbers

OVERVIEW |
HOW DOES IT WORK? |
|
Priority Announcements |
Send important announcements with urgency and maximum reach |
Priority Announcements are sent to all users instantaneously. Administrators can choose to override users’ do-not-disturb settings and communication preferences to ensure that critical messages reach all families. |
|
Voice Broadcast |
Contact families with phone calls that play pre-recorded messages |
Voice Broadcasts are pre-recorded audio messages delivered as phone calls and part of a school-wide or district-wide announcement. ClassTag tracks real-time data on whether a message was delivered, started, and listened to completion. |
|
Public Broadcast |
Publish announcements in your favorite social channels |
Public Broadcast is an optional method of sending school-wide and district-wide announcements that can be viewed publicly without logging in. Educators can seamlessly produce and share SchoolStatus content on Twitter and Facebook. |
