10 Ways Schools Can Use In-App Conversations

In our last blog post, Why Does Text Messaging Matter? you learned why direct messaging is the most effective way to reach someone. Sending a personal message gives the sender a sense of comfort, knowing their message is being delivered to the right person at the right time. 

With a parent communication app by SchoolInfo, the conversations feature allows app users to communicate either one-on-one or in group messages. Sometimes school leaders need to push out information to the entire school, like time-sensitive information or school updates, but in cases where information is only important to one person or a particular group of people, it's better to reach out to them directly. Here are 10 ways your school community can use conversations to connect. 

1. A teacher sends a student's parent a direct message to schedule a parent-teacher conference
2. Basketball practice time has changed, so the coach sends an update in the team's group chat
3. An administrator boosts morale by announcing staff birthdays in the teachers and staff group message
4. A teacher needs to remind her entire class that the bus for tomorrow's field trip leaves at 8 am
5. An administrator needs to reach out to only the history department
6. A teacher sends an attachment of the assignment missed to an absent student
7. The prom committee sends weekly tasks that need to be completed in their group message
8. A teacher sends a direct message to a student's parent to remind them to bring in their Show and Tell item 
9. The class president sends out the meeting agenda prior to the student council meeting
10.  An administrator needs to communicate with the parent volunteers' group about the upcoming event

Not only will your staff and students/parents be able to connect to create a cohesive and engaging community, but with a branded mobile app by SchoolInfo, you can keep a record of all those conversations for monitoring purposes.
