Targeted, one-to-one communication is the key to engaging parents, encouraging students, and demonstrating community leadership. Yet the seemingly simple act of outreach is often anything but.

K-12 administrators face a wide range of challenges today: larger class sizes, disciplinary issues, staff reductions, shrinking budgets and ever-changing educational standards – often leaving districts short on resources when they need to reach out to families in their school community.

Blackboard mass notification solutions make one-to-one communication simple, streamlined, and cost effective. With a suite of trusted, scalable solutions, Blackboard puts districts in touch with thousands of parents, students and community members with effective, targeted messages—in minutes. Every day, school districts large and small are using Blackboard Connect or AlertNow to make measurable improvements in attendance, student achievement and parental involvement.
