(I-Newswire) - October 13, 2006, Pittsfield, NH – Barnstead Elementary School signs on FamilyFirst Alerts’ Emergency and Truancy Notification System. Walter Gaides, Technology Coordinator, said: “FamilyFirst Alerts offers a high tech solution for emergency and non-emergency situations that schools must be prepared to deal with in today’s fast changing world. We are now able to reach parents and emergency services quickly and reliably. This is very important to us. In addition, we have a new communication tool to reach parents of Truant students as soon as we know they are absent.”
Truancy notification is a particularly effective feature because parents are notified immediately when a child is reported absent. This creates a coordinated school – parent communication system that streamlines effective intervention to get the child back in school before chronic Truancy sets in and provides additional revenue for the school due to increased attendance. A 20% decrease in Truancy is common. Lastly, the community benefits as crime rates drop.
This communication tool is user friendly and allows school administrators to send out a mass notification to parents for any emergency and non-emergency situation or to reach specific groups or one parent anywhere anytime. In addition, it’s effective in scheduling meetings and events, changing meeting times and dates – any repetitive activity, such as PTA meetings. When bad weather arrives unexpectedly, parents can be notified to pick their children at a specified location. In an emergency, parents and emergency services can be notified during and after an event to coordinate appropriate actions as the situation changes. Non-emergency uses include everything from at late library notice to scheduling school meetings/events and making last minute changes.
The system is a fully hosted web based application that requires no equipment or additional phones lines. Notifications can be sent to parents over any device by: voice ( VoIP ), landline, email, text message ( SMS ) and pager. There is no cost to parents, and they can choose to receive a notification in the language of their choice ( over 40 languages available ). Messages are sent in real-time and are reliable, effective and cost efficient.
