Cisco launches SchoolMessenger to improve attendance rates

Cisco Systems has unveiled automatic communication software called SchoolMessenger for Cisco Unified Communications, which will enable schools to convey important information to parents more efficiently. < ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

SchoolMessenger, a US parental notification company, has integrated its system with the Cisco telephony application, which is based on Internet protocol (IP). Teachers can record a personalised message, select a preprogrammed calling list, and send a message to parents from a computer or IP phone. Cisco claims that the SchoolMessenger system provides more efficient communications compared to traditional autodialer systems. In turn, this helps improve attendance rates and increases student performance. A school district in Utah, one in Washington, and another in Illinois have implemented the communication technology.
