We have a student whose family speaks Vietnamese, but we don’t have anyone on staff who speaks Vietnamese. Unified Operations Communication makes it possible for us to regularly communicate with them.

We’ve definitely been able to be in contact with many more parents than we normally would. . . We have a 60% Spanish-speaking population, and the automatic, two-way translation provides an avenue to communicate in a much easier format for our parents.

Two days prior to distance learning, we successfully engaged in two-way communications with 470 out of 500 families. During the first week of remote learning, we got that list down to just one family. After a few more days, we had open lines of communication with 100% of our families.

The thing that has been most beneficial is the ability to reach parents in a way that we have never been able to before. PowerSchool Communication has wholly alleviated anxieties around the unknowns that we’ve had to face during this unprecedented time.

More families that aren’t English speakers are participating because they are able to understand the messaging. Parents are being more responsive and taking the initiative to alert us at the school if the student is going to be absent or a change at home takes place.
