Why do schools and school districts need ParentLink?

ParentLink is a school communication system that provides parents, students and school personnel with unprecedented access to important information.

It has long been shown that a key ingredient to getting families involved in their students' education is to provide them with as much information as possible in a variety of ways. Parentlink provides information regarding attendance, grades, homework, and other school related events using convenient means such as telephones, e-mail, and the internet. For instance users can receive messages by way of phone, email and form letters sent by the system. With ParentLink, parents and other users have the ability to specify when, where and how that information comes to them. Users can also log into the system and take advantage of simple phone menus, or an easy to understand Web interface. The result - schools can send out important student data and announcements just once, at a time that is convenient for them. ParentLink does the rest, by delivering the information at a time and place best for parents to receive it.

By improving the communication between the school and the community, you are improving your students' performance at school and improving the amount and quality of involvement of parents. ParentLink is designed by customers to help reach education and improvement goals, increasing the quality of education and student achievement at your school or district.

ParentLink is designed specifically as a centralized communication solution with school districts in mind. The principle benefit is that it requires significantly smaller amount of resources to administer and maintain a central system. ParentLink's Software as a Service (SaaS) model is current with industry standards of multiple failure points, encrypted security standards and adherence to FERPA and education laws.
