How Elizabeth Forward School District Modernized Communication with AIScreen

The Challenge:


EFSD struggled to keep students, staff, and families informed across multiple schools. Paper flyers, static signs, and missed emails led to communication gaps and reduced engagement.

Frankfort-Elberta Area Schools Improve Communication by 60% with Digital Signage

The Problem

Frankfort-Elberta Area Schools relied on outdated communication methods, including printed flyers, PA system announcements, and emails that were often overlooked. Important updates, event reminders, and emergency alerts were frequently missed, leading to inefficiencies and low engagement among students, staff, and parents. The school needed a modern, real-time solution to ensure clear and effective communication throughout the district.

The Problem

The Mississippi School for the Deaf relied on traditional communication methods like printed notices and sign language interpreters, often resulting in delays and missed updates. Emergency alerts, schedule changes, and event reminders couldn’t be communicated instantly, limiting accessibility for students and staff. With a visually-focused learning environment, the school needed a modern, real-time solution to improve engagement and ensure essential information was delivered efficiently.

About Elizabeth Forward School District

At Elizabeth Forward School District (EFSD), fostering a connected, informed community has always been a core mission. With three elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school, all bustling with learning, sports, events, and community activities, keeping everyone in sync was a relentless challenge. Paper flyers were overlooked. Bulletin boards grew stale. Emails were missed. The district needed something vibrant, dynamic, and real-time.

Enter AIScreen.

 

 

A District Ready to Shine

EFSD’s Digital Ecosystem already embraced technology, PowerSchool, Canvas, and teacher iPads, but lacked a unified channel for essential day-to-day communication. Important messages about events, student accomplishments, or emergency alerts were lost in translation, visible only to those who happened to walk past a bulletin board.

“We wanted to showcase student work, celebrate achievements, and keep parents in the loop, but static signage couldn’t keep pace,” said an IT staff member, Mary Wiseman.

The AIScreen Breakthrough

Guided by an educational communications summit and glowing school-industry referrals, EFSD tested AIScreen’s Google Slides integration and digital signage platform, a solution that synced effortless, familiar tools with real-time display updates (AIScreen).

“We linked our existing Slide decks to actual screens,” recalled the Director of Digital Teaching & Learning, Alison DeMarco. “Change a slide, it updates everywhere, cafeteria, foyer, gym, classrooms.”

Implementation followed a thoughtful, phased rollout:

  • Phase 1: Install screens in high-traffic zones, cafeteria, main entrance, office hallway.

  • Phase 2: Empower staff and students to create content, including menus, announcements, and artwork showcases.
  • Phase 3: Add emergency alert capabilities and automated schedule change displays.

 

From Passive to Interactive Engagement

With AIScreen, what was once stale became spirited:

 

  • Live daily announcements scroll across screens without manual uploads.

  • Cafeteria menus update instantly; dietary notes rotate by daypart.

  • Spotlights on student achievements, project wins, awards, performances, build community pride.

  • Emergency alerts and schedule changes now broadcast across all screens in seconds.

 

  • Community event reminders ensure parents and staff stay informed without floods of flyers.
