Communications
Every conversation, exactly where it belongs
August connects family communication and staff messaging to the student record. Every conversation is secure, recorded, and accessible to authorized staff.
Why August
When communication lives outside the student record, things get missed
Most school communication happens in places that have nothing to do with the student record. A phone call with no follow-up, an email chain no one can find. August brings messaging into the student record and connects families directly through the August Communications Assistant, in their language, any time of day.
Secure messaging that lives in the student record
August keeps every family communication confidential and automatically recorded in the student file. Emergency fax, email, and text are all built in.
An assistant that meets families where they are
Most families won't call the front office or log into a portal. But they will respond to a text. The August Communications Assistant gives every family a response in their own language, around the clock, through a simple phone number.
The right response, every time
Routine questions get answered automatically. Complex cases get pre-screened and escalated with context already captured. Crisis keywords trigger immediate routing, not a voicemail.
Built by your school, for your community
Upload your handbook, set your instructions, define your routing rules. Your assistant reflects your school's voice, and every conversation is logged and accessible to authorized staff.
