Parent SMS Messaging
Schools are using texts to send parents quick alerts about their children, as well as general and urgent school updates directly to their mobile devices.
Parents often don’t check their personal emails at work, which can lead to them missing important updates about their children. Therefore, if parents could receive text messages on their phones, even when they have no data connection, they are far more likely to read them and keep up-to-date.
SMS / text messages have a 99% open rate, making text messaging the ideal mode of communication between your school and the parents of your pupils for urgent notifications like school closures for example.
With EDU365 NOTIFY, you can send and schedule as many SMS messages as you like within your available credit balance **, credits will only be deducted from your available balance for successfully delivered messages.
* SMS credits are at a small extra charge
** One credit equals 160 characters of a message.
