Our users have asked for the ability to send district and school-wide messages with the ease, transparency, and history logs you get with other SchoolStatus communications tools. Well, look no further than Notify! All your communications can now be executed using one tool--SchoolStatus.
What is Notify?
Notify is our mass notification system that allows for sending one-way messages, calls, and emails to recipients of an entire school or schools, grade level, or district. Notify uses a short code like 93-9393, which is different from our 1:1 and Broadcast messages. Notify messages are not meant for a reply from the recipient.
Who can use Notify?
Notify is designed for school or district-level communications, so building-level admin and above. Traditional teachers will not be Notify users. They should continue to use Broadcast messaging to communicate with multiple recipients.
Notify is in Beta. What does that mean?
Beta means we are still working on it! It means we've released the features to a limited number of people as we continue to build and enhance the features. The Beta stage allows us to have real users test the functionality to ensure all is working perfectly.
What features does Notify have now?
- Send a text message, call, or email to all preferred contacts of a school, multiple schools, or the entire district
- Email composition with attachments
- Schedule messages to be sent at a time in the future
- View message delivery stats like how many messages were sent, delivered or failed
- Send automated attendance notifications
- Ability to record your voice for calls
- Grade level audiences (send to all 4th graders, regardless of school)
- Staff audiences (include your staff in your communications or send to only staff)
What features are coming soon?
- Social media sharing
Does Notify cost extra?
Yes, it does. Communications do incur costs for each call, text, or email. So in order to provide this feature set, we need to charge (what we think is) a small fee. To get a custom quote for your district, contact successteam@schoolstatus.com.
