By 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. SchoolCast has integrated with our student services program, DASL. With very little effort in setup, our student information is updated nightly to SchoolCast so that Girard City Schools has the most current information on both sites.
