We can email the school secretary, who can pull up the student's schedule and relay a message to their current classroom via chat or email or phone...or you know, just walking down the hall. Honestly - if my kid's phone is on silent and in their backpack during class, (where it belongs, so they can pay attention) this system is faster than them checking their phone during passing periods. It's wild how quickly we've all forgotten how things were done before smartphones!
