What Is Unified School Communication?

Unified school communication means that messages, forms, events, volunteering, documents, and important district, school-wide, classroom and after-school club updates are created, shared, and responded to within a single system—so families can engage two-way, and school leaders maintain consistent visibility across the school(s).

School Signals brings all engagement features to a singular platform reducing scattered information and making it easier for school communities to stay aligned.

Questions School Leaders Often Ask

Can my school district try out School Signals with one school first?

Yes, you can pilot School Signals in one of your schools to measure the results. Once School Signals is successfully implemented at one school, rolling it out to the remaining schools is smooth, as you will know how to support them.

Does School Signals work with private schools?

Yes, School Signals is very scalable and works beautifully for private schools. Strong teacher-parent communication is essential in private schools, and School Signals provides a unified platform for sharing updates and engaging with parents.

Does School Signals work for parent-driven initiatives?

PTOs can be driving forces to bring unified school communication to schools. For example, the parent organization for the Willie Brown Middle School in San Francisco, CA, uses School Signals to boost and unify family engagement and everyday communication, bringing parents together.

Is School Signals suitable for internal teacher and staff communication?

Yes. All School Signals features scale to provide updates and content just for teachers and staff, making the platform a strong internal communication network. Our private school users are enjoying the internal team communication modules. For instance, Brookings Harbor Christian School also uses the platform for internal staff communication and updates.

How does School Signals support ESSA and Title I family engagement work?

School Signals is built to help schools carry out day-to-day family communication and engagement practices that are commonly expected under Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and Title I.

Schools use School Signals to unify school-wide communication (such as announcements and updates), collect feedback through forms, coordinate participation such as events and volunteering, and manage parent-teacher conferences with reminders and pre-conference forms.

School Signals supports School Improvement Plans (SIP) or Title I based family engagement plan implementation by making it easier to consistently execute communication and engagement strategies and document participation and input. 

The platform also includes strong group and committee tools for engagement teams to organize and conduct their planning work in collaboration.

As with any platform, districts determine their own compliance approach and required documentation.

Can using School Signals reduce the number of tools our school uses today?

Yes. Using School Signals can replace the following tools with a singular platform and app:

  • Private messaging chat apps such as WhatsApp, GroupMe
  • Teacher-parent messaging apps such as Remind
  • Parent-teacher conference scheduling software, such as PTC Wizard
  • Language translation apps / AI tools needed to translate communication

How quickly can our school get started?

You get immediate access to a demo school. Your platform is technically ready right away upon subscribing. We recommend taking a few weeks to set up content, and to get to know the system so you can use it intentionally. We will train you on the system and answer all your questions.

How do families receive school communication?

Families can access all communication on the platform and app. They receive notifications on the new communication through email, mobile app notifications, and text messages. Schools and districts can also send multilingual voice messages for time-sensitive or critical alerts.

divider line

Can we try School Signals before committing?

Yes, of course. We recommend that you sign up for a product discovery demo. After the demo, we can set up a demo school to test the system. Once you are ready to subscribe, we will add your school.
