Nightly notification can mean the difference between D and B for every student.

Many good studies over more than 20 years of research have proven that improvements in regular communication between home and school have resulted in higher grades, better performance and better attendance.

US Netcom’s AllCall Parent Notification Service is used for these and many other reasons by hundreds of schools every day. Often with dramatic, positive, well-documented results.

AllCall is used daily to engage parents in their children's performance. This helps dramatically improve overall student achievement, reduce attendance issues and provide real improvements in the classroom.

How would parents rate your district's communication performance?

Here's how Cobb County, Georgia raised their student performance metrics districtwide:

For five years running, Cobb County Public Schools in Atlanta had passing rates for all four sections of its district; rates that outpaced those of other districts in metro Atlanta and Georgia. The dates benchmarked were consistent with the use of US Netcom's notification solutions.

More significantly, during the last school year the district used US Netcom to deliver more than 800,000 calls home each month. The result: the average senior SAT score was 1047 – 172 points above the state average of 875....all, through automated notification.

With automated notification you'll also see:

  • Dramatic improvements in attendance rates as notification calls alert every parent to their absentee student - parent response to your call will put more students in their seats.
  • Improved student achievement with standardized test score alert to parents - test alert reminder calls.
  • Emergency and follow-up notification - when an emergency affects a school and the surrounding community, rumors and misinformation can be thwarted with calls that educate parents before the media does.
  • Staff and first responder notification - when time is critical, automated emergency response reaches those who in a position to help quickly
