of each student to deliver attendance information, among other specific information, about the student.
Teachers simply log into the system online and choose the correct message for each student, without ever touching a phone. In addition to sending calls concerning attendance, the system can also send a variety of messages concerning each student’s classroom experience, including: behavior, performance, grade progress, class information, and achievement.
The company is currently serving over 50,000 students in Los Angeles Unified School District and is being used in some of the largest schools in the city. Other TeleParent users in the district include Crenshaw High School, Thomas Starr King Middle School, Kennedy High School, and Virgil Middle School.
“I believe the increase in attendance can be attributed to TeleParent’s ability to quickly and easily send the attendance information of each student in his or her home language,” said Frances Vilaubi, Assistant Principal of Attendance. “The system has really connected teachers and parents like never before, and we are seeing the difference it is making.”
