How Schools Are Using W.A.R.N. Every Day
- Boost attendance with W.A.R.N. by using it for absence notification.
- Improve community safety by instantly alerting parents to suspicious incidents or other security- related issues, including bomb threats, missing children and abductions.
- Aid practice and real emergency evacuation efforts by instantly and simultaneously informing parents to pick up their children.
- Reduce truancy rates by notifying parents in real-time that a child is absent.
- Raise parent participation through timely communication with parents about upcoming school functions and events.
- When school activities or overnight field trips take place, parents can be notified to give them a progress report and reassure them of the children's safety.
- If a school bus gets off to a late start, administrators pull up the affected and notify them.
- Given the small size of some communities, rumors can surface quickly when there's an incident at the school. To prevent false or exaggerated accounts from spreading, a quickly implemented notification will inform parents precisely what happened and that it was a minor incident.
