smart communication for schools

THE TEACHER
THE STUDENT
THE PARENT
“My science teacher uses a Google doc to post assignments. My math teacher posts in the learning management system. For English, I have to go to a different part of the learning management system. For Spanish, I have to constantly check email. For Track, we use an app.”
– High school freshman
“I’m checking email, Facebook, Instagram, and 4 different text groups just to figure out what my kids have going on every week. And I try to follow Twitter to see what’s happening at the school. It’s exhausting.”
– Parent of 4 public school
children
“Email is a big problem, it’s a passive channel and it’s out of sync with how we educate. And, too many students just don’t like email. Whatever we do to improve communication, it has to exist on the surface of a smart device and be very simple to use.”
– High school teacher
“We are simply managing too many channels; without a common platform for all stakeholders – students, teachers, parents and admins - communication becomes inefficient and frustrating and negatively impacts quality of education.”
- Middle school administrator
THE SOLUTION
SMART COMMUNICATION
A single discrete network to share school news across the entire school system. Important messages can be sent as push notifications or as text messages from within Flathat. Flathat can share posts to most traditional social networks, or it can be used as a single solution where personal data and privacy is always secure.
SMART COLLABORATION
Teachers, coaches, and club leaders host dedicated chat channels for their organizations within Flathat. Teachers can share assignments with due-dates and reminders, as well as two-way chat within their class channel. Parents can have visibility of these channels. Coaches and club leaders can keep all announcements and chats in one channel without sharing their personal contact information. Important notices can be sent as push notifications or as text messages from within Flathat.
LAUNCH GUIDE
We understand how busy educators are these days. Integrating a school, or an entire division, is designed to minimize friction.
