School-Links

School-links is pleased announce their strategic partnership with New Era IT, the leading supplier of ICT infrastructure, solutions and services to the New Zealand education sector.
 
This association will enable NewEra IT to offer this web-based ‘Communication Software System’ that connects Parents, Teachers, Administrators and Students.
 
Included in the range of communication tools are -

• Early Notification System
• General Messaging System
• Online and Email News System
• Parent-Teacher Interview Online Booking System

School-links is a Ministry of Education approved provider of Early Notification (EN) and enables schools to send alerts for absent children directly to parents or caregivers by text message and/or e-mail. A school attendance officer can view replies to the text and e-mail alerts from the student management system (SMS) or from the School-links web interface. Schools can also receive secure electronic notifications from parents for absences before they happen.

School-links also has a safe text-message and email environment with a full audit trail for 2-way general, academic and extra-curricular teacher-student and school-parent communications.

It also has a fully-featured news system that schools can use to save time, money, and the environment. Schools can publish online news features and broadcast electronic news and attachments to its members - avoiding the issues associated with trying to get communications home via traditional means. School news archives can be kept online for access at a later date.

The School-links online Parent-Teacher Interview Booking System allows parents to log in and book interview time slots for selected staff members. It both streamlines the interview booking process and provides the school with a central database and electronic record of parent-teacher meetings.
