MSD of Wayne Township Uses 3n’s InstaCom™ Mass Notification Solution to Inform Parents, Teachers, and Staff During Emergencies and for Routine Communications
GLENDALE, CALIF. --[EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION NEWS]-- November 29, 2006 – 3n (National Notification Network), a mass notification system provider, today announced the Metropolitan School District (MSD) of Wayne Township is using the 3n mass notification solution to communicate with parents, teachers, and staff during critical situations and about routine events involving the district.
To make announcements and alerts relevant to students’ safety and education, MSD of Wayne Township previously relied on a hard-to-manage, inefficient call tree system that took too long to reach parents and guardians. Time-sensitive alerts and notifications were being mailed or sent home with students, a slow and unreliable method that did not guarantee that messages were reaching their intended destinations. Further, school principals were missing opportunities to convey positive messages and develop and maintain strong relationships with parents.
“We save time, make our schools safer, and improve communication during emergency situations," said Chuck Hibbert, Safety and Transportation Services Manager for MSD of Wayne Township. "We have received an overwhelmingly appreciative response from parents.”
