Automated Attendance Processes and Preference Management for Mass Notification Platform
FY 2026-27 · 2026-06-14
Summary
Box Clever is expanding its Memo mass notification platform for K-12 school districts. Over 7 months, the project will add two new capabilities: automated student attendance notifications and a self-serve portal where parents and guardians can manage their communication preferences. Memo will pull attendance data from the main student information systems used in Canadian schools, apply district rules, and send messages by phone, SMS, and email. Parents will be able to choose how they receive non-mandatory notices, while required notifications still get through. The outcome will be to cut the time school staff spend on attendance calls and give families more control over how their school reaches them.

Description (French)
Box Clever étend sa plateforme de notification de masse « Memo » aux districts scolaires de la maternelle à la terminale. Sur une période de 7 mois, le projet ajoutera deux nouvelles fonctionnalités : des notifications automatisées concernant l’assiduité des élèves et un portail en libre-service où les parents et tuteurs pourront gérer leurs préférences de communication. Memo extraira les données d’assiduité des principaux systèmes d’information sur les élèves utilisés dans les écoles canadiennes, appliquera les règles du district et enverra des messages par téléphone, texto et courriel. Les parents pourront choisir la manière dont ils reçoivent les notifications non obligatoires, tandis que les notifications obligatoires continueront d’être transmises. Cela permettra de réduire le temps que le personnel scolaire consacre aux appels relatifs à l’assiduité et d’offrir aux familles davantage de contrôle sur la manière dont leur établissement les contacte.
