Phone systems for schools & childcare

Parents need to reach the office, and staff need to reach each other, fast. Keep everyone connected. Plans start as low as $9.99 a month.

Example call flow

Here's one way calls could be handled. We build yours around how your team works.

A parent calls and hears an auto attendant. option 1, attendance mailbox: emailed to the office; option 2, front office: rings the office staff; option 3, director: rings the director. After hours: plays closing or after-hours message. Also: paging, reach every classroom.
An example setup. Menu options, greetings, and after-hours rules are all yours to choose.
