After Hours

A better way to call limited English-speaking or illiterate parents around the clock without contributing to teacher burnout.

It should NOT be routine for teachers to start or extend their workdays beyond contract hours or sacrifice precious planning periods and duty-free lunches to call busy and hard-to-reach parents daily.

EchoED After Hours services make live, voice-to-voice communication with limited English proficient and/or illiterate parents easy, 24/7/365. Interpreters at our outbound call center get in touch with parents during times parents are more likely to be available…before 9a, after 5p, on the weekends, whenever.

Start meaningful conversations, regardless of language, literacy, and time.
