ParentLocker has introduced open communication to thousands of schools via the internet. ParentLocker allows schools to send emails, and allows for teachers and parents to have private chat sessions online. This results in less printing and mail costs, and removes the need for complicated and often ignored phone-tree messages. See below for more information about the Email Notifications Platform and ParentLocker Chat.
To boost communications between your school and parents, teachers and faculty, ParentLocker utilizes the power and speed of emailing to send notifications. Using a simple online page, administrators can send emails to individuals, groups, or the entire school body within seconds. These emails are great for notifying parents of important events or messages, and may also include attachments. Additionally, to increase parent involvement, parents may send private messages to teachers through ParentLocker, opening a new channel of communication.
ParentLocker’s chat platform allows for the most efficient and convenient communication possible. Parents and teachers can have full discussions with the instant messaging design, without having to coordinate meetings or schedule phone calls. The chat utility streamlines communication between parents and teachers, leading to increased parental involvement and, ultimately, to improved student grades. The chat platform is easy to use and requires no setup or installation; users simply select who they would like to chat with and instantaneously send and receive messages in their browser. The ParentLocker chat platform greatly increases communication and provides a new way for parents and school staff to connect.
ParentLocker acts as a central source for parents to find all the latest school-related news and information. The news page lists the most recent school information (as updated by an administrator), allowing parents to keep informed of current events. Parents can also subscribe to RSS feeds so that they can receive immediate and automatic notifications whenever available. Information pages display information such as policy changes, bell schedules, or sporting event schedules and venues. ParentLocker even includes a live search box so that desired information can be easily and quickly retrieved.
