SchoolStatus, a pioneer in K-12 data-driven solutions that enable student success, recently announced the launch of a new K-12 student success platform. The user-friendly, fully integrated platform features SchoolStatus Connect for personalized communication, and SchoolStatus Attend aimed at minimizing chronic absenteeism. Both solutions empower families, administrators, and educators with data and insights to enhance positive student outcomes.
The SchoolStatus platform launched with solutions focused on school-home communications and attendance. Additional solutions will be introduced later this year. The platform includes:
- SchoolStatus Attend: A data-driven attendance management solution that empowers educators with automatic attendance interventions and positive reinforcement that improve daily attendance and streamline administrative tasks to combat chronic absenteeism. The solution helps eliminate the need for tedious administrative processes through automated outreach using mailed letters, postcards, and digital messages. Leveraging over 20 years of attendance management experience, SchoolStatus Attend can reduce attendance management workload by up to 75% while fostering a culture where students want to attend school.
- SchoolStatus Connect: An easy-to-use, integrated communications hub that empowers educators, schools, and districts to establish meaningful connections with each student’s family via auto-translated SMS text messages, email, newsletters, phone, video, and more. Educators can also access a holistic view of a student’s academic performance and contact history, including call recordings, to track progress in reaching and engaging families, all in the same place.
Russ Davis, Founder & CEO of SchoolStatus, commented on the newly launched platform:
Districts, educators, and families share the goal of wanting students to thrive. The first step is having actionable data-driven insights to propel student success and school-home connections further. Combining data and communication is a powerful catalyst for driving family engagement, significantly, freeing up valuable time for educators. Educators and families want better, easier ways to connect and engage with each other as they partner to help students get back on track academically and work to address absenteeism. Our new integrated communication and attendance solutions are designed to meet the needs of schools and educators while keeping students’ families engaged, informed, and connected and decreasing educators’ workload.
Research consistently reveals that when families and educators work together, students perform much better in school. The new SchoolStatus platform aims to enhance collaboration and family engagement by providing a centralized communications centre that enables districts to reach every family with relevant messaging to encourage better learning and attendance outcomes. The platform provides educators with rapid access to the information they need for data-driven decision-making and eliminates barriers to access, such as technology and language.
Andrew Fernandez, Chief of Communications & Technology for San Marcos CISD, stated:
At San Marcos CISD, we seek the best technology to support student achievement and promote positive school-home collaboration. Access to a platform that offers a central, easy-to-use communications hub will make it easier for our educators and families to build strong partnerships to support students. The SchoolStatus student success platform will allow us to continue to enhance family communication and engagement by making connecting with our schools more accessible and more meaningful for families.
