In mid-March, when coronavirus began sweeping throughout the United States, schools shuttered. For most districts, the decision to shut their doors came quickly. The result left millions of educators trapped at home with fragmented ways to communicate with parents and students.
RIDGELAND, MS (March 30, 2020) SchoolStatus, data analytics and communication technology today announced that the SchoolStatus suite was named a 2020 SIIA CODiE Award finalist in the Best Collaborative Community Solution for Educators category. Award finalists represent applications, products and services from developers of educational software, digital content, online learning services and related technologies across the PreK-20 sector.
As COVID-19 has closed many schools across the country, we stand in awe of the dedication shown by our partner teachers, administrators, and staff. Specifically, even though schools are technically closed, we’re seeing communications at 300% of typical levels. That says a lot about your dedication to your students.

That’s because we have different goals for communicating with parents each time we reach out.
Educators generally agree that parental involvement is great for students. When parents and schools work together, students have a greater opportunity to excel in both their home and school lives. However, working with parents isn’t always so simple.
Multi-Tier Systems of Support or MTSS is something that I hope you’ve heard mentioned in your school.
