 Emergency Announcement
Crisis communication has become an essential component to any school system's action plan. When problems arise, telephone systems and staff are unprepared to handle the volume of communication necessary. Incoming calls tie up phone lines and prevent schools from getting critical messages out in an emergency.
Using SchoolSpan Emergency Announcement, emergency announcements can now be relayed to all stakeholders within moments, helping to alleviate clogged phone lines.
Using the feature, hosted inside the administrative control panel, authorized staff can write, edit and preview the announcement. They can opt to send the message instantly, or schedule a specific date and time to issue the message.
That email is then forwarded to all email addresses in the system, including "emergency email addressed" collected during the registration process. This may include email directed to cell phones or pagers - ensuring that messages reach people faster.
In addition, easy-to-update announcement boxes on your district welcome page allow you to quickly post messages on the web site from any location.
