Automatic school announcements are phone messages that can be recorded once and then sent to hundreds or thousands of individuals and households at once. This technology lets you effectively communicate with groups and individuals in a a timely and consistent manner.

Database Systems Corp. (DSC) has developed this technology and provides this service at our automated call center. Call announcements are automatically delivered to parents, students, faculty and the community at large quickly and at an affordable price. These phone announcements can be simple call notifications of school events or meetings. School calls can also be emergency alerts and warnings.

Emergency school notifications such as school closings due to inclement weather can be automatically broadcast to all or part of your community with the same, consistent message using our message broadcasting systems.

Contact DSC or visit our School Calls website to learn more about our automated student announcement services.
