As a busy parent, I know how important it is to stay connected with your child’s school. But with so many communication channels like paper notes, emails, texts, and social media posts, it can be quite overwhelming to keep track of everything. That’s where Audiri comes in – an all-in-one communication tool that streamlines school communications and makes it easier for parents and schools to stay connected. In this blog post, I’m going to share with you the top five benefits of using Audiri.

1. Effective communication between parents and schools

Communication is key, and when it comes to schools and parents, it’s no different. A strong relationship between the school and the wider community can positively affect student learning, well-being, and development outcomes. With Audiri, parents can stay up-to-date with school news, activities, and updates instantly and effortlessly. Schools can communicate and engage with parents easily through the app, which sends push notifications to their smartphones and emails. This helps to improve parental engagement, which is a top priority for many schools.

2. Easy access to important information

Let’s face it, we’re all glued to our smartphones these days. With 86% of all adults in Australia owning a smartphone, virtual communication tools like Audiri have become more accessible than ever. Schools can easily inform parents about anything from important updates to school projects and volunteering opportunities. With everything accessible in one place, even parents who may not be as involved in the school community can easily engage in school activities. This can help parents feel more connected to their child’s school and play a positive part in their opinion towards the school.

3. Cost-effective and environmentally friendly

Did you know that on average, schools across Australia use 2,000 sheets of paper per day? That’s a lot of paper! By using virtual communication tools like Audiri, schools can significantly reduce their budget spend on resources like paper and ink. Audiri also helps schools reduce errors in school publications, as it prompts schools to review messages before sending them. With just one click, schools can send messages to parents and eliminate the need to reprint letters and forms. This saves schools both time and money, and is also environmentally friendly!

4. Streamlined school services

Schools all over Australia are looking to streamline their services and reduce headaches for staff and parents. With Audiri, schools can integrate with other valuable features and platforms like My School Connect, a cashless system for schools. This means that parents can access school canteen ordering, the school uniform shop, and payments for raffles and events all in one place within the Audiri app. Newsletters and Parent-Teacher Interview bookings are also built into Audiri, eliminating the need for schools to use multiple platforms to serve these functions. By choosing Audiri, schools can save both time and money and make school processes more seamless.

5. Save admin time

Aside from the time saved contacting or chasing parents, there are many other areas where Audiri can provide efficiencies and productivity boosts. For example, at my daughter’s school, the administrative staff would manually sort and email 250 parents with a photograph of their child after a badge ceremony. Can you imagine how much time that would take? With Audiri’s powerful integration with GeoSnapShot, AI and facial recognition technology can filter photographs with just one click. Not only can schools filter out photos of students on the ‘no photograph register,’ but parents can also use this technology to access every photograph of their child ever taken at a school event. Another way that Audiri saves time is by providing cashless online payments through My School Connect integration. This eliminates the need for manual processing of payments and reduces the risk of errors or security breaches.

Using Audiri not only saves time and money, but it also helps make school processes more seamless, ultimately leading to better engagement between schools and parents.

So, if you’re tired of using multiple communication methods to keep up with your child’s school, give Audiri a try!
