Butler County SchoolsHigh Ground Solutions "Schoolcast" alert system just flat out WORKS! It ties in with our SIS [Student Information System] and makes us so efficient when it comes to adding news student into the SchoolCast database. It populates names, phone numbers each evening automatically! Can you say SWEET! Creating SchoolCast Alert calls is so easy. Schoolcast Alert calls can be sent in almost any form i.e., Voice, Text To Speech, email, text message, ALL methods, text message and email. Tech support is outstanding and right here in the U.S.A. Tiana Jacobs and Shaun Tillery should be the poster people for what great, competent tech support should be."
Dave G.
Tech Coordinator
Cascade Public SchoolsIf we have an announcement, reminder, or cancellation, I do not have to worry if everyone got the message because I can follow the calls from the online Website or the Mobile Command Center app. When we are traveling, I can make announcements about the next day's schedule to every student at once instead of going to all four buses or 40 hotel rooms. We are now using the SMS/text message feature to deliver a message that parents or students can keep and refer to for weekly schedules. What a time saver!"

Rhea County High SchoolOur partnership with SchoolCast has allowed Girard City Schools to improve parent communication by sending out alerts for school closings, upcoming important events, and safety issues that parents need to know. These alerts are sent instantly or delayed if need be. Because of SchoolCast, our parents and staff know what they need to know, when they need to know it!"

Commerce City SchoolsWe love school cast. Parents are receiving information about grade reports, school activities and announcements in a timely manner. I have had many parents tell me how much they appreciate receiving the phone calls and knowing what is actually happening at school without depending on their child to bring a note home."

Ragland School
St. Clair County Public SchoolsAs a high school principal, I find it necessary to keep our parents informed about school business. I have a distribution list of parent emails, but unfortunately, only about half of the parents are on the list. School Cast is a fast, efficient way to reach all of the parents with important information. It is especially useful in times of emergencies such as school closings for bad weather. School Cast is reliable and easy to use. We love it!."

Carrollton City SchoolsBy using SchoolCast to make our attendance calls, our secretaries spend less time on the phone, giving them more time to work on other projects. Most important, SchoolCast is a contributing factor to improved attendance. When a parent receives the call from Schoolcast, they often call their children and tell them to get to school!"
David C.
Superintendent
Girard City SchoolsA few of our favorite uses of SchoolCast include: Parent notification of student absence and excessive lunch charges; reminder to check progress reports/report cards; notification of class picture day, PTO meetings, Title I meetings, hearing/vision screening, band practice, cancellation of athletic events, Saturday School, and severe weather alert for administrators/coaches."

Brad D.

Rhea County High SchoolThe Schoolcast rapid notification system has been and is an invaluable asset for our the Escambia County School System in providing immediate dispersal of information and notification to all our employees, students, parents, and stakeholders.

We could not be happier with their product, service, and commitment and look forward to benefiting from their product for many years to come.."
Ray F.
Supervisor of Elementary Education
Rhea County SchoolsMany grants and other opportunities now require that a school receive the most "votes" in order to win. Our system used SchoolCast on two occasions to notify parents of these opportunities. As a result, our middle school was awarded a mini-grant for computer equipment, and our high school football team won Game of the Week from Fox 5 Atlanta."

There have been several occasions when it was necessary to suddenly close our school because of a dangerous storm headed our way. Contacting parents of all children quickly and efficiently was very important and was easily accomplished with SchoolCast Daycare edition.

We have had the privilege of using the CampuCast emergency notification system since 2008. It is an affordable and highly effective tool for getting out emergency or non-emergency notifications. The on-site training for the system was great as well as the prompt attention to service. We have used the system on several occasions to inform students of school closings due to bad weather. I highly recommend CampusCast to other community colleges and schools. The ease of use and speedy response time for communicating messages to our students is wonderful."

In today's world, it is important to get information in real time. Rapid Cast is the perfect tool for getting your message out and it is easy to use."
Michaeline G.
FirstState BankRapid Cast has proven to be a very helpful tool allowing us to communicate with our customers and employees. When circumstances arise we can advise them when we are experiencing electric outages, water line breaks, street closings or emergencies, etc. We also send out announcements to advise of special meetings or events within the community. We signed up with High Ground Solutions (RapidCast) a year ago and have been pleased with the service we have received and the ongoing support that is available"
Pam S.
Wagoner Public Works AuthorityAfter the tornado outbreak of April 2011, we began to search for different methods of mass communication to our employees. We found RapidCast and began researching the benefits of having a mass communication system for our company. The implementation process was extremely easy and the support from RapidCast personnel was great ! The endless options available for grouping and alerting personnel were extremely helpful in eliminating the need for pagers. If you are looking for a communication tool, with great support personnel a phone call away, I would recommend RapidCast! "
Mike E.
Assistant Manager Human Resources
Toray Carbon Fibers America, Inc.As a company with presence in several counties, we needed the capability to have polygon-based weather alerts to notify various offices and staff of severe weather inbound to their location. RapidCast created a Weather Monitor product that allowed us to configure these alerts to staff. We are able to reach people via SMS messages or phone calls with these alerts, automatically, quickly, and without any action on our part. We also use the system to make outbound announcements of either pre-recorded or ad-hoc messages, such as meeting reminders and special notifications. It's a real time-saver in emergency situations, allowing our switchboard operators to make one call to generate many calls to staff, instead of having to make each of these calls themselves. The ability to check delivery of the messages online gives us instant feedback on who's received the messages. "

We've found the MallCast system a great benefit to our tenants to provide a conduit for instant communication to our more than 170 tenants. It's been used for a wide range of activities from snow emergencies to mall wide events. We really appreciate having such an easy to use web-based tool that we can be accessed from anywhere and keep our tenants informed."

Mall Cast is a great tool. Like all tools, it is only as good as the person using it. We use Mall Cast at two malls. Usage was slow to begin with, but each time we used it, or didn't -- but should have -- the directors gradually began to see the value of it. As a result, I've seen usage increase over the year."

The Dayton Youth Baseball has benefited from the SportsCast system tremendously. Being able to announce cancellations or changes to the scheduling has made the job much easier and less time consuming. Contacting coaches and players is just one call. We can also group the kids by team. It's a big time-saver."

Providence AcademyOur school has been using TestPoint as an entrance exam for about four years. It has been a great tool in assessing new students entering our school to verify that they could meet the academic challenges in our classrooms. It has also proven to be advantageous to these student's parents to see in what areas their child may be weak or may be excelled. It shows our prospective families that we take seriously the academic standing of all the students in our school. This online test has proven to be very valuable to our school."
