Sending school alert phone calls to students, parents and teachers can now be performed automatically using technology developed by Database Systems Corp. (DSC).

DSC provides phone services and systems that can automatically broadcast school phone messages using our secure call center. Calls can be automatically delivered to faculty members and the community at large quickly and at an affordable price. Phone messages can be simple call notifications of school events or meetings. School calls can also be emergency alerts and warnings.

Emergency alerts can be delivered using a broad range of communication techniques to contact individuals and organizations when an extraordinary event occurs. This emergency alert can be delivered to a small group of individuals such as the faculty or a specific campus building. Likewise an emergency notification can be sent to an entire campus and to the nearby community.

Absentee students can now be reported immediately to parents or guardians using this emergency contact service and system. This program can be a vital service not only to report absentees to parents, but to quickly notify parents of a missing child.

DSC also provides a telephone reassurance program called CARE which can be used by communities and schools to call Latchkey Kids at home after school to ensure they got home safely when parents are still at work.
