Case Study: Forest Lake Christian School achieves modernized, real-time communications and simplified management with GoToConnect (GoTo)

How Gotoconnect Empowered Forest Lake Christian School Through Modernized Communications

Forest Lake Christian School, a college-preparatory K–12 in Auburn, California, faced an aging and fragmented IT and communications infrastructure — slow download speeds, 17 separate networks, limited phone access, and an unreliable bell system. To modernize communications and expand online learning options, the school engaged GoTo, deploying its GoToConnect phone and communications service.

GoTo implemented GoToConnect with InformaCast integration to provide one‑button paging, unified phone management, and synchronized bell schedules across three buildings. The system was live quickly — the vice principal made an announcement 20 minutes after installation — and delivered measurable benefits: consistent bells (customizable sounds), on‑time start/stop for better bus coordination, simplified administration for a six-person leadership team, and robust mass‑notification capability, improving real‑time communications across the campus.
