Doing More with Less

If your school is like most, next year you will be asked to do more with less; less funding, fewer staff members and fewer resources. SchoolReach can help by making one person as productive as ten.

Once thought of just for school cancellations and emergency notices, parent notification systems are now being used to replace more costly forms of communications to parents - and the parents are reporting increased satisfaction with the new methods. The savings and gains stem from the following areas:

  • Reduced paper consumption
  • Reduced print supplies consumption
  • Reduced postage and mailing cost
  • Increased average daily attendance
  • Increased lunch balance payments
  • Recovered labor

"8 miles of paper saved." That's what one SchoolReach user calculated as the amount of copy paper that was saved by replacing printed letters and notes with SchoolReach email and phone broadcasts to parents.

300% to 700% Return on Investment. You don't just have to take our word for it, findings from our 2009 customer survey show that SchoolReach customers are enjoying a 300% to 700% average return on investment following the implementation of our service. SchoolReach does not cost - IT PAYS!

  • Start a weekly voice broadcast "audio newsletter" covering several items at once.
