| Bulletin Board gives
school administrators a direct line of communication with parents and students. It
allows parents and students to access a wide variety of school announcements 24 hours a
day from any touch-tone phone. By keeping the parents informed, they will have a
more positive attitude towards the school. |

The Bulletin Board is the easiest
way of sharing information with parents and students. School policies, dates and
deadlines, current issues, school cancellations, lunch menus, sporting events, and other
school information are just a few examples of typical Bulletin Board items. This can
be very valuable in building or rebuilding a collaborative school community.

Inbound Access 24 Hours a Day.
Bulletin Board allows parents and student to retrieve school information through a
touch-tone phone from any location 24 hours a day. This is an excellent communication
mechanism especially for parents that work during the day and want to stay informed.
Simple Message Set Up and Maintenance. Teachers can record their
messages and have them started and stopped on specific dates. Therefore, teachers can
record all of their messages for an entire semester and the messages will be automatically
deleted at their set expiration dates. |

Promotes Communication Within the School Community. Parents no longer need to rely on their child to bring home
the memos sent by the school. With Bulletin Board, schools proactively keep parents,
students, and district personnel informed of the school's schedule and policies, sporting
events, upcoming events, important dates and deadlines (i.e. standardized test dates),
special interest topics, and retrieve school phone numbers and mailing lists.
Bulletin Board also allows parents and students to access the schools lunch menus, which
ensure parents that their children are receiving nutritional meals at school. When
the entire school community is informed, there is less opportunity for conflicts to
arise. Parents or students will enjoy having the answers to their questions just a
phone call away!
Reduces Administrative Staff's Time, and Effort Spent Answering Parents'
Questions, Saving the School Money. School administrative staff spend hours on
the phone answering parents questions regarding school related information.
Oftentimes, principals are required to become involved, which takes time away from their
primary tasks. Instead, schools can use Bulletin Board to post answers to questions
frequently asked by parents.
Guarantees the Accuracy of the Responses to the Parents. Since the
Bulletin Board messages are prerecorded and verified by the school personnel, everyone
accessing the information will receive the same responses. This eliminates
the potential for miscommunications throughout the school community.
