School Bullying: Bully Prevention Methods and Nationwide Statistics

bullying-preventionBullying in schools has become an epidemic in the United States as the statistics mentioned below will show - it's time to take a stand and explore a unique method of prevention. 

Statistical data that has been acquired over the past couple of years depict that bullying in schools is on the rise. Several task forces have been created in an effort to prevent bullying and raise awareness on the emotional, physical and verbal abuse that happens daily while children attempt to receive an education at school. 

Campaigns such as StopBullying.gov are educating the nation regarding bullying with statistics, warning signs and prevention methods but it still needs to become a more important topic than where it currently stands on the national agenda - bullying is causing irreparable damage to our future generation and it needs to be stopped. 

DialMyCalls has scoured the internet to gather information regarding the bullying epidemic in an effort to raise awareness. While providing the following statistics is one step in the right direction, we would also like to help aid in the anti-bullying cause by offering our voice and text message broadcasting services. Schools are able to set up their own anti-bully campaign by using our system to create a bully hotline or a text message campaign which would allow students to report bullying to an instructor immediately. 

Please take a quick look at the following data regarding the bully epidemic that continues to grow. To find out more information regarding how DialMyCalls can be used to create an anti-bullying campaign in your school, please read more about our bullying notifications or call our customer support at (800) 928-2086.

Parent Reminders for School Report Cards

report cards

Receive an automated parent reminder the day that your son/daughter brings home their report cards.

The announcement of report card-related events like notices, issues, time and schedule of release, distribution and consultations are very important to the parents of each student. That is why it is essential for the school to have an effective way to inform the parents and send them reminder notifications. It is important that no single parent or guardian will be left behind or uninformed on these report cards and any other school-related reminders.

Informing parents or guardians one-by-one by sending them notification letters or even calling them up will be costly, laborious and impractical. Students do not even like informing their parents or guardians regarding their report cards. A better alternative solution is the use of an automated report card reminder system via DialMyCalls. Utilizing our school notification system will massively notify parents or guardians on those important upcoming school events[such as report cards] in seconds.

Our parent reminder system will deliver a pre-recorded notification message on the correct and updated home, personal or business phone numbers of parents or guardians. The phone numbers from the list in the student's enrollment card will be used for this purpose. Another option or an additional feature of our system is by sending out messages to their electronic mail addresses and as a text message to their cellular phones.

Keep track of your child's progression in school with our parent reminders for report cards and other school-related events.
