Rise Vision Digital Signage Success Plan

Most schools struggle to communicate with students, staff, parents, and administrators. We have helped thousands of schools like yours solve this problem. We’ll step you through how to communicate better and get the maximum return on your digital signage.

Communicating with students, staff, parents, and administrators is hard. Everything competes for their attention and cutting through that noise is difficult. To get their attention you need amazing eye-catching content on your displays.

We’ve found that most schools don’t have the resources they need to create content that “wows”. And understandably so, schools are not in the business of digital design - but we are! We have an entire team of designers who focus on creating amazing content for schools.

Our library has hundreds of templates that you can pick from. The templates can easily be branded with your logo and colors to make them your own. And the best part, we add more every week!

You also need a canvas for these amazing designs and that’s where your displays come in... Displays are like real estate, it’s all about location, location, location! Deciding where to put your displays to best get your messages in front of everyone is critical. We’ve found the following locations present some of the best viewing opportunities.

Entrances Perhaps the best location to reach as many people as possible - welcome them as they come into the building and communicate important announcements and upcoming events.	Hallways Once in the building continue to reach your audience as they move between classes all day long. Recognize teachers for all they do, highlight student achievements, and share pictures of events and everyday life around school.
Classrooms Show classroom rules, emergency alerts, important announcements, and highlight students on interactive displays in classrooms when they aren’t being used for instruction.	Office The office is the perfect place to share a message from the principal or superintendent, greet parents and visitors, and make a great impression.
Cafeteria Help your students make the important decision of what they’re having for lunch and keep them informed of important announcements.	Gymnasium Take advantage of one of your school’s most visited locations to highlight upcoming sporting events and encourage the values your school aspires to.
Library An ideal place to share books to read, famous quotes, automatically updating educational content, and messages about online safety, anti-bullying, and being kind.	Auditorium Showcase student achievements, profiles, upcoming shows, ceremonies and auditions, and videos of past performances.

We understand that school staff have many responsibilities and digital signage is typically just one of them. We’ve created the checklist below to help you quickly be successful with Rise Vision. By following this checklist you’ll have amazing templates showing in the best locations in your school, and you’ll be well equipped to keep your displays interesting for years to come!
