The problem

Sound familiar?

01

The phone tree era

Class parents calling class parents calling families — an hour later, a third of the school still doesn't know about the early dismissal.

02

Email in an emergency

A snow closure sent by email at 6am reaches whoever happens to check email at 6am. That's not a notification system; it's a hope.

03

No delivery confirmation

You sent the alert — but did the Cohen family get it? Without delivery reporting, you're guessing about the thing you can least afford to guess about.

What 613OS does

Built to make this disappear

Simultaneous multi-channel blast

One alert fires SMS, voice call, and email to every family at once. Parents get it wherever they are, on whatever they check.

Pre-built templates

Snow closure, early dismissal, delayed opening, shelter-in-place, all-clear — written in advance and approved, so a crisis send takes seconds, not composition.

Targeted or school-wide

Alert the whole school, one campus, one grade, or one bus route. The 3rd grade trip delay doesn't need to wake the high school.

Delivery reporting

See exactly which families received, opened, and read the alert — and re-send by voice call to anyone unreached.

Two-way confirmation

For pickup changes and emergencies, request a reply confirmation — and see the live list of families who've acknowledged.

Staff-only channels

Separate instant channels for faculty and staff coordination during any situation.

✦  Quick answer

What is school emergency alert software?

Urgent broadcast software reaches your whole parent body fast across WhatsApp, SMS, email, and voice — weather closures, early dismissals, and urgent notices, with per-message delivery status. 613OS sends segmented or school-wide alerts from any authorized phone.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How fast can an alert reach every family?

Typically within minutes for a full school. One message fans out across WhatsApp, SMS, email, and optional voice simultaneously; throughput is subject to carrier limits, and delivery status is visible per message. 613OS is a mass-communication tool — it is not, and should not replace, a life-safety or lockdown system.

Can alerts go to just the affected group?

Yes. A bus delay alerts one route; an early dismissal alerts the whole school; a grade-level issue alerts those parents — segmentation means urgent messages stay urgent because families only get the ones that apply.

Who is authorized to send an emergency alert?

Roles you designate — typically the menahel, executive director, and office lead. Authorized senders can trigger pre-written templates from a phone in seconds, because emergencies don't wait for someone to reach a desktop.

Does it confirm delivery?

Yes. Per-family delivery status shows in real time, undelivered contacts surface immediately for follow-up, and the log records what was sent, when, and to whom — a clear record of what was sent and when.
