“I am able to quickly communicate with approximately 100 students twice a day. It saves on counselor referrals and is a great way to check-in daily with individual students to let them know that even if they don't see me in the building that day, that I am here and I am thinking of them.”

-Angela Robertson, School Counselor, New Buffalo Elementary, New Buffalo, MI
