K-12 School Clocks | National Time & Signal

Clock Systems for Schools

Accurate time is important for K-12 schools, as classes and other daily functions are structured by time period. The wall clock in every classroom needs to match, and these clocks also need to match the time on school computers, tablets and smartphones to prevent discrepancies. Clock systems for schools synchronize clocks across your entire campus, so you can be sure you’re getting a consistent and accurate time no matter which clock you reference.

National Time & Signal works with K-12 school systems to provide effective clock systems. Our clock upgrades and replacements meet your needs now and prepare for future facility changes.

The Value of Clock Systems for Schools

Clocks for schools do more than display an accurate time — they can transform your school by:

Synchronizing bells with class changes

With school clocks, you can synchronize the bells for the start and end of class periods with the clocks. Teachers and students will know how much time they have until their next class begins.

Teaching students valuable skills

All students need to learn the importance of organization, time management and punctuality. Wall clocks for schools support a positive environment to teach these skills.

Eliminate disruptions

Having a single unified clock system ensures all classes start and end at the same time, so classes don’t let out too early or too late and disrupt meaningful learning.

Assisting teachers and staff

School clocks help teachers know how much time they have left in the period, so they can start and finish class on time, coordinate their lesson plans, and create an effective learning environment for their students.

Coordinating staffing

Clock systems for schools ensure staff members know when to expect students, so they’re supervised when going to class, lunch or recess.

Wired Clocks

Wired synchronized clock systems have a master clock with wires physically connecting to all other clocks. The master clock is self-adjusting, so it will correct the display every 12 hours to ensure the clocks display the correct time.

NATSCO has several wired clock systems that provide reliability and a low cost of ownership in a wired design. The master clocks integrate with school PA, sound systems and bell schedules to keep the school day on time. Wired clock options include:

Wireless Clocks

Wireless clock systems provide time synchronization with a wireless connection. A base station uses a radio transmission or Wi-Fi to send signals to analog and digital clocks throughout the school. These signals give all connected clocks the accurate time. We also offer a free cloud service that monitors clocks to identify failures before they become a problem. The service can alert you to low batteries, clocks not checked in and similar issues.

The wireless clock systems from NATSCO are precise and have low installation costs, serving as a cost-effective, accurate time-keeping solution for schools. Our wireless clock systems include:
