Cut Alert

What Cut Alert is
Cut Alert is a mobile-friendly web app that helps school staff notify families about class cuts and daily absences. For a class cut, staff find a student, select a period, record the cut, and send an email and SMS notification to guardians. For daily absences, staff upload a CSV, review the list, send bulk messages, and record callback reasons. Messages can use a student’s home language and the school’s branding. Staff can also send custom notifications using saved templates, reusable groups, and email attachments. When a parent calls back, staff can record the reason and have Cut Alert email that context to the student’s teachers. Schools can set at-risk rules using a minimum cut count, a rolling day window, and an optional repeated-period rule. They can edit support plans and interventions, then export plans as PDFs tied to student records. CSV imports cover student, staff, and schedule data, including NYC DOE RESI and RCON files. The app offers administrator, teacher, and office roles. The site says schools can request a demo and are typically approved within 24 hours of registration. Pricing is on request.
