Optional Add-Ons for SchoolScreener® Parent Portal

We have a range of optional add-ons for the SchoolScreener® Parent Portal. These are:

Prices are provided for information, but the form below is not an order form, it’s just an indicator of your interest. We’ll reply as soon as we can to discuss your specific needs and purchase order requirements.

i. Alerts, Notifications and Read Receipts

Your messages can be configured to send automatically to the  parent linked to each child. Alternatively, for older children with their own Portal Accounts (e.g. Year 9s), the messages can be sent direct to them. There will be no patient identifiable data or clinical communication in the message itself, it simply refers the recipient to the portal account. So sensitive information is always password-protected.

SchoolScreener® Parent Portal alerts are GDPR compliant, forming part of the normal, clinical communication flow, no extra documentation is required.

Flexible and highly configurable, these alerts provide many opportunities to meet your needs. Once set up, no further intervention is required, so they save time and offer improved communication effectiveness.

Read receipts are indicators that show if the parent has opened the letter placed in the Parent Portal. They provide a date and time of opening and enable staff to search for parents that have not opened their letters or have unopened documents.

Guideline costs of alerts are £1,500 +VAT per scenario/configuration. They include unlimited emails and up to 5,000 SMS texts. Additional SMS cost £200 per 5,000, payable in advance. We calculate your need based on child population and service need at start of school year.

Subject lines and message content are set by the client. Messages are sent once per day, typically, based on the previous day’s activities. (Alternative configuration is possible).

Implementation and set-up time is approximately 2 weeks, depending on complexity.

Example Alert Types

a)     Messages sent to all users when there is a new letter added to the Portal

Sent once a day, any document

(“We have sent you a new document regarding your child to your SchoolScreener® Parent Portal, please log in at www.portal.schoolscreener.com to read it. If you have any questions, please contact the school nursing team on XXXX“)
