The bottom of a backpack might be your most readily available transport system – but safe, secure, and reliable, it’s not. Some stuff goes in. Some stuff comes out. Some stuff disappears – forever.

No matter how clearly you communicate your message, it’s the delivery that ultimately determines its effectiveness.

Just Between Friends is a Directory and Notification System that gets the right message to the right people at the right time, reducing workloads, costs … and headaches!

 
Benefits – The JBF Communications Tool Kit

  • Targeted Email messaging and automatic delivery of scheduled reminders to designated parents

 

  • Easy parental access to all announcements via secure, private Web page

 

  • Robust permission-based security for “notification sending” privileges (which means you can delegate communications tasks to multiple people without worrying about somebody abusing the privilege)

 

  • Directory data entry and updates performed by community members

 

  • Flexible formatting of directory data

 

  • Rapid search technology for fast, accurate search results

     
Benefits – The JBF Enhanced School Directory


 

  • Secure, private and instant Web-based access to detailed, up-to-date contact information for community members (students and their families, faculty, administration, parent-teacher-group members)

 

  • Effortlessly create your school’s or district’s printed directory from the data within your JBF School Directory

 

  • Offload the task of keeping the information current to the members of the community, allowing you to reduce administrative workload, yet ensure a more accurate, up-to-date directory.

 

  • Make available information that your printed directory can’t easily include – such as cell phone numbers, multiple email addresses, second homes, and work contact info.

 

  • Allow parents to put on file telephone numbers and email addresses without having to publish them to the entire community, thereby keeping them private while allowing school access to them when needed.

 

  • Easily find other households, even when challenges arise – such as not knowing the child’s last name or when the child has a different last name from the parent of record. Quickly look children up by teacher or grade. You can even narrow down your search in seconds when you only know the child’s first name. (“Mommy, I’m going to Jack’s house to play after school.” Jack who? Your JBF Enhanced School Directory will help you figure it out.)
