Overview
Studies increasingly demonstrate that parental involvement
can dramatically improve academic achievement. Schools
and districts can leverage the power of increased parental
involvement with a Sprint Education Markets solution
- ParentLink Suite (PLS).
PLS is a communications system that brings together
parents, teachers and students to improve education
by adding new dimensions to parent-teacher communications.
Since teachers have different planning periods it is
not always easy to contact other teachers or parents.
PLS allows teachers the freedom to communicate with
other teachers and parents when it is convenient or
necessary without interrupting their periods of instruction.
PLS also offers parents easy access to grades, attendance
reports and homework information over a touch-tone phone
or the Internet. The system has an outbound dialing
feature so parents can be informed of their child's
progress and important school activities. This education
solution even allows high school students to register
for classes from their home.
When a customer selects the PLS solution, they provide:
- Improved staff efficiency
- Increased parent, teacher and student communications
- Simplified access to attendance and classroom performance
information
- Easy access to school information on matters such
as attendance, dress code policy, safety and violence
prevention
