Schools and MessageLine
Schools often face the problem of providing parents with important information at very short notice. Here are two examples of these situations.
SCHOOL CLOSED DUE TO BAD WEATHER
This situation presents the school firstly with the problem of the number of calls jamming the switchboard and secondly having someone at school to answer calls, when teachers may no be able to get in either.
THE RETURN JOURNEY OF THE SCHOOL TRIP IS DELAYED
Many school trips involve travelling long distances, either at home or abroad. When a return journey is delayed, it is not easy while travelling to call all parents to tell them and stop them becoming concerned if they arrive to collect their children and there is a long wait.
WHAT IS NEEDED?
The answer is to provide a central point of up to date information for parents, that does not become jammed with too many calls at once and that can be updated from any location via a telephone.
MESSAGELINE247 PROVIDES A SOLUTION
MessageLine247 is a unique service to help schools keep parents informed easily and efficiently, with No Setup costs for the school.
Just leave a message on MessageLine247 and give out the Retrieval Telephone Number and the MessageLine Code to parents in your normal School Newsletters, School Journals etc. Then teachers can update the message from any fixed line or mobile telephone, as and when the situation changes.
Parents will now be able to ring one number and receive an update on the current situation, whether the School is closed because of bad weather, or if it will reopen today or if the School trip will arrive back on time.
As MessageLine247 is a giant answering service with hundreds of lines, there are no more permanently engaged lines, or endless calls for parents to make. With updated messages as the situation changes, everybody will have access to the latest information, saving the school time and money and parents wasted journeys and worry.
WHAT DOES IT COST
There are No Setup Charges, No Monthly Charges and No Contract for setting up a MessageLine.
The person ringing the Retrieval Telephone Number to hear the message from a BT line will be charged at 10 pence per minute. Rates on other networks may vary.
