The CDC and Department of Health and Human
Services have recommended that schools use school to home communication
tools to aide parents and students in the event of school closures or
student absences due to the upcoming H1N1 (Swine) flu season.
Many schools have turned to HomeworkNOW.com to be a major component of
their flu season preparation plans. These schools plan to use
HomeworkNOW.com as a means to communicate important school and classroom
information via the web, email, mobile text messaging, Facebook, Twitter,
RSS Feeds and more.
“This year’s flu season is really making schools take a look at their
school to home communication capabilities. HomeworkNOW.com continues to
help schools solidify their formal procedures for posting school alerts,
announcements, take home notices, class web pages, homework assignments,
and more,” commented Nick Rago, HomeworkNOW.com Managing Director.
“Schools are choosing HomeworkNOW.com because it’s low cost, easy to
implement, easy to use, and offers the unique ability to proactively
communicate school information to parents and students across a variety of
communication methods including social networking sites like Facebook.”
Parents and students can easily view school and classroom information
online at MY.HomeworkNOW.com or via mobile device at their convenience;
but, what makes HomeworkNOW.com unique is its ability to allow parents and
students to subscribe to receive content via email, text messaging, RSS
feeds, and social networking sites, like Facebook. (HomeworkNOW.com
recently released its Facebook application that sends school content and
notifications directly to Facebook users when a school administrator or
teacher updates or posts school content.)
Rago added that he believes it is not too late for schools to implement a
solution like HomeworkNOW.com in time for this year’s flu season: “Because
HomeworkNOW.com is a web-based service with no hardware or personnel
investment needed, schools can begin to use the service immediately.”
