As you may already know, eSchoolView and BrightArrow have formed a partnership to provide a unified message alert system, Instant Connect to increase efficiency and help boost student achievement. Created through a collaboration based on research that shows students excel academically in engaged and informed communities, this is a critical benefit for school systems that know public accountability is a top priority. When filing for E-Rate, we can bundle your content management system (CMS) and Instant Connect for huge savings on both!
Our integrated products combined will feature one point of data entry for SIS information, website CMS and a communication alert system. This collaboration opens up new opportunities by reaching out to your community to support parent/teacher communications and emergency contact methods that are much more cost-effective than alternative parent notification options.
A few key features of our full featured automated notification system include:
- Unlimited voice, text, and e-mail notifications
- Emergency priority message delivery
- Fast school cancellation and delay announcements
- Multi-language support
- Anti-bullying hotline and reporting service
- Absentee notifications to parents
Instant Connect stands out over other products because it is simple to use, it is more affordable than most services and it is available to all levels of staff, allowing teachers to get messages out to students and parents. The possibilities of how organizations can use this powerful tool for academic growth and achievement are endless!
