The Potential for Emergencies in Our Schools Has Never Been Greater
Emergencies challenge every person in your school system and community ... especially police, fire and medical professionals. Appropriate responses to crisis situations depend on fast, accurate, widespread and verifiable communication.
IRIS delivers the optimal solution for emergency notification and priority messaging to every individual in your school district. The system sends emergency, priority and routine messages with digital speed from school officials to contacts throughout the community. Critical information regarding severe storms and fires as well as unforeseen calamities and routine advisories reaches thousands in about 30 seconds on the communications devices they select ... in ten different languages. IRIS even records the time each person receives the message and reports results.
And, IRIS outperforms all other messaging services and systems - faster, using multiple languages, communicating over virtually every device, and at a lower cost per contact.
Meeting Parental Involvement Requirements
Two-way communication is the cornerstone of the No Child Left Behind Act parental involvement requirement. IRIS facilitates frequent and effective contacts for building better understanding and improving academic results. The use of immediate and "paperless" notification with automated receipt confirmation makes IRIS the fastest and most efficient contact service, even for hard to reach parents. Launch and year-round operation are just pennies per student per day, providing the lowest cost per contact of any communication system.
Data Privacy and Security
The participant database comes from contact information schools routinely gather. This data uploads with absolute privacy and security using any electronic data format such as: CSV, Tab Delimited, Comma Delimited, Excel or a variety of common database programs. IRIS stores data at multiple redundant servers around the country, keeping it constantly accessible for changes and message delivery. All personal data and IRIS operations are held under the highest security standard in existence - an encryption level more secure than the technology protocol credit card companies use to protect on-line transactions.
Critical information regarding severe storms and fires as well as unforeseen calamities and routine advisories reaches thousands in about 30 seconds on the communications devices they select ... in ten different languages. IRIS even records the time each person receives the message and reports results.
Example Scenario
A typical school district might have 25,000 people on its contact list. If each has three phone numbers: 75,000 calls would be needed. IRIS proceeds through each calling sequence at digital speed. It covers all primary numbers from A to Z before calling secondary numbers. By reaching across the entire alphabet at once, Mr. Zimmerman receives his message at nearly the same time as Mrs. Arnold.
