School phone announcements and educational phone answering services can now be accomplished quickly and efficiently using technology from Database Systems Corp.
Special announcements can be sent out in phone messages to selected students and faculty, to an entire list of parents in any given school, or to your entire district. Calls can be placed immediately to all members rather than one or a few calls at a time, getting emergency information out quickly. Missing student alerts or absentee student information can be sent to parents immediately. School closings can be broadcast to households as soon as the decision is made by the administration. A message can be played to an individual or left on an answering machine.
Generic messages can contain specific information regarding a student or school program or event. The call recipient could make selections from a menu or leave a message for the school. If the member needs to talk with a school representative, the message can be programmed to allow a "Press 1...." option and the call will be transferred to a school representative.
Specialized calls such as school closings, emergency board meetings, or individual student absence notification are just a few of the many applications for this service.

Types of School Notification Phone Calls
- Simple School Communication Message
- This is a basic call where the phone system dials from a list and plays one standard school message either to an individual or to an answering machine. No agent or volunteer is required to talk with the contacted household member who in turn simply listens to the message.
This technique could be useful when you wish to simply provide brief but clear messages and contact as many households as possible with messages such as event cancellations or school closures.
- Announcement Message and Touchphone Responses
- This method expands the prior call technique by playing a school message that gives the contacted individual options from which to select. Using touchphone responses such as "Press 1 for...", the choices could include obtaining additional information, leaving a voice message, or simply terminating the call.
A different message can be left on an answering machine or the answering machine could be ignored completely. Although more complex than the prior call types, this form of message dialing does not require that an individual from the school be available to handle this call.
- Notification Message and Call Transfer
- This is similar to the prior call technique but with the option to transfer the call to a third party phone number. Again, using touchphone responses the contacted individual can request that the call be transferred to another person or organization. The phone system dials another number and when contact is made with the third party or different phone system, the call is transferred.
This is effective when you need to get some form of feedback from the called individual such as a volunteer.
Database Systems can provide any type of school alerts and calling program required by your school and can even blend several different types based upon the nature of your message notification system and your desired contact method.
