SMS is transforming the way schools communicate with parents. Whether you need to get information to an individual or to a large group of parents, sending a text gets the message where it needs to be, right now.

Compared with sending letters home with children, or using the postal service or email, nothing comes close to the effectiveness and
immediacy of SMS.

Keeping parents informed and involved
Teachers are under tremendous pressures and it is very difficult for them to communicate with large numbers of parents regularly. However, it is known that parents are able to provide effective support for the children when kept better informed.

School reports and telephone calls are ineffective either because of their infrequency or the amount of time they take. However, text messaging enables teachers to keep parents informed on a far more frequent and regular basis.
