Being able to quickly reach parents, on my computer, but also on my phone, is very helpful. This means I can contact parents when I'm not at school or at my laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having to enter a password every time I open the app on my phone is a bit cumbersome. I use Face ID, and I feel that level of security should be sufficient. Also, I have to scroll through the list of names to reach a contact. It would be much more user-friendly if we could search for the student’s name instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use SchoolStatus to communicate with parents, and I find it very effective because I can call a parent directly or text them. The fact that calls or text messages can be printed, keeping a record of my conversation, makes it a reliable tool. This is an effective way to stay in touch with parents as they can reach out with concerns and I can respond promptly. Also, when I had some problems at first, I called the number provided, and the issues were resolved, showing that support is readily available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how SchoolStatus cuts off in the middle of your conversation with another person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use SchoolStatus for contacting parents and students and find it helpful because it keeps a record of all communication and holds all the contact information in one place. I like that it is easy to find past communications. I can see when a student was last contacted by me or others, and I can access old recordings to check meeting dates or information given in them.

I wish it didn't send the long thing for parents that explains it is a SchoolStatus message. Just send the message not a long robotic intro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the parents do not have to have my phone number in order to ‘text’ or accept calls from me. It’s very convenient that my messages come through as a text to the parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally, the app will not notify me on my phone when a parent messages me. This happens when I am connected to WiFi and have service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use and the information it provides. From communication features to upcoming birthdays to viewing evaluations and more, the platform provides a wealth of resources that are easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that birthdays disappear from view once they have passed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having parent contact info easily accessible is most helpful. I use SchoolStatus almost daily. I like that all the communications are recorded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Least helpful is not being able to select teachers to add to their class list if I send out a communication to only one class. Also, it is frustrating when trying to add attachments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest win for us has been the sheer efficiency SchoolStatus has provided our school. We have been able to completely streamline our outreach, consolidating everything into one intuitive platform. As a classroom teacher, I enjoy sending out daily stories, which allows me to post quick updates and photos, giving parents a "window" into our day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SchoolStatus excels at centralizing communication, a few areas where the program can be frustrating for both staff and parents include issues with data syncing (outdated contact information) or the many steps needed to complete the SIS setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use SchoolStatus to keep parents up to date on their child's progress. I like that we as teachers do not have to share our personal numbers and the fact that we can document the communication with the parents. It allows educators to communicate with families without revealing personal cell phone numbers, automatically logs interactions, which is helpful for record-keeping and accountability, and centralizes communication in one platform for better organization. The setup was simple and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike about SchoolStatus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting just the right permissions for volunteer coaches can be tricky, but is easily customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use SchoolStatus to communicate with parents and appreciate having a record of all conversations. I like that all of the information I need is in one place. I also enjoy that SchoolStatus now integrates attendance and behavior referrals, as it helps me see if there is an attendance problem. The initial setup was very easy.

Sometimes I don't get notifications on my phone. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes I will have 3-4 messages from parents that I never received a notification for on my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
