In a recent survey, more than 80% of educators reported using text messages on their personal cell phones or consumer messaging platforms such as WhatsApp to communicate with colleagues about student support. Quick, timely communication can solve problems that may otherwise escalate into serious issues, but traditional tools such as e-mail, spreadsheets, and communication logs in many student information systems are too slow and too cumbersome. Text messaging and consumer messaging tools are quick and lightweight, but they aren’t connected to other school systems, and they come with significant privacy and compliance risks.

Intellispark Pro is designed for secure, FERPA- and HIPAA-compliant messaging in a school setting. It supports integration with your student information system via Clever, ClassLink, OneRoster, and Ed-Fi, and it allows single sign-on using Clever, ClassLink, and Google. Communications are encrypted for privacy and security, and they’re linked automatically to students and educators in your school so your conversations are searchable and easily organized – ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Intellispark Pro provides multiple levels of access so you can be confident that the right members of your team have access to the right information at the right time and at the right level of detail.
