Spring Cleanup 2024: Tidying tips for website managers

As spring arrives, it brings a fresh opportunity to spruce up your school's website. For those juggling the demands of school administration, the thought of updating a website can seem daunting. However, a clean, well-organized, and up-to-date website helps keep our communities informed and engaged. Here’s a straightforward plan to refresh your school’s online presence.

Using a Mass Notification System to Supercharge School Communication

Timely and effective communication with parents, students, and staff is a vital part of a school's ability to connect with its community. However, especially in today’s cluttered messaging world, not all communication methods are created equal. At one end of the spectrum you have an individualized, platform-by-platform approach. But, like carrier pigeons, this methodology has become increasingly outdated and easy to become lost. On the other end of the spectrum you have mass notification systems. The best of these are powered by software that integrates with multiple platforms to streamline the communication process and ensure that everyone stays informed and up-to-date.
