Why we are different
The School Reach Safe Schools Program is built upon DocuChannel technology. DocuChannel is a new communication platform that is different from anything you are currently using. While public portals, e-mail systems, text messaging, and web sites allow you
to communicate with parents / community members, almost all of these systems require recipients to be pro-active. This means there is a greater potential for parents to miss critical information.
Consider these examples
Websites and parent portals:
Imagine your school is using a web site for public communication and you have a closing due to weather. A school official must contact the web administrator to have the
announcement published. If a parent checks your website just seconds before the information is published, the parent will miss the announcement. This means the parent must
continue to re-visit your website, hoping he / she isn't missing something.
E-mail systems:
Imagine you have a large amount of information on the H1N1 virus for parents / community members and this information is contained in a Microsoft Word document. You can try to e-mail
the document but a high percentage of e-mails will never make their destination. Some will get caught by blacklists and spam filters while
others will get stopped due to file size limitations. For those that do receive the information, you'll never know for sure that they received it or even if they opened it.
Text messaging:
Imagine there is a missing child and your school relies on text messaging. Time is critical and using private gateways can still take too long. When messages do get received
they only contain text - no useful images and no verification.
DocuChannel fixes all of the problems outlined above
Parents / community members don't have to be pro-active - information automatically appears on their computer screen. No more checking e-mail, visiting / logging into
websites, etc.
Communication methods can be specific - you decide how your parent / community members should receive information. Options include full-screen alerting with images,
sound and text, less intrusive balloon tip notifications, or document distribution.
Communication is direct - no more problems with spam filters or firewalls because your school has a direct connection to parents and community members.
Unlimited bandwidth - distributed documents can be any file size. Plus, distribute as much as you want, as often as you want.
Increased speed - the DocuChannel platform dramatically improves communication time. Reach thousands of parents / community members within a single minute.
Verification - see who got your notifications and at what time. If sending documents, you can see if they were opened.
Simplify communications - with a single mouse click you can send your announcements to parents, first responders, media outlets and more.
Integrate solutions - if you're already using a mass communication method like e-mail or texting, don't throw those systems away - integrate with them! SchooReach believes in a layered approach to mass notification; the more distribution services incorporated, the faster and more thorough your information spreads.
The DocuChannel platform is built upon open standards so integration with student database systems or other mass communication methods is easy.
