Streamline School
Communication with Bulk SMS

Stay connected with parents using school sms communication.

Instantly connect with parents, students, and staff, make sure they’re always
informed, engaged, and up-to-date on school operations.

Academics

Position your school for academic success

Educational institutions that excel in academics have one common characteristic: a well-defined academic plan that involves teachers, students, and their parents.

Rather than phone calls that require time, using short message service delivers messages in a simple way and promises high open rates and deliverability.

Performance Updates

One of the best ways to engage parents is by sending regular updates about their child’s academic progress.

For example, “Your child scored 70% on their spelling exercise this week.” This keeps parents informed and ensures they know where their child might need additional support.

Class Updates

Teachers can use SMS to share important class information.

For instance, “Tomorrow, we will have a science experiment. Please make sure your child brings a small plastic bottle.” These reminders ensure students are prepared and demonstrate that your school values clear communication.

Homework Alerts

Remind parents about assignments their children need to complete.

For example, “Math homework for today: Practice addition with numbers up to 20. Submission is tomorrow.” This keeps parents involved and helps students stay on track.

Reading Goals

Share updates about class reading progress.

For example, “This week, we’re learning about short vowel sounds. Practice words like cat, hat, and bat at home.” This encourages parents to participate in their child’s learning.

Test Reminders

Notify parents about upcoming tests.

For instance, “Spelling test on Friday! Words to practice: dog, run, jump.” These reminders ensure children are well-prepared.

Learning Tips

Share simple tips to help parents support their child.

For example, “Encourage your child to read aloud for 10 minutes every day to build confidence and fluency.”

Finances

Make Fee Payments Easier

Managing school fees can be a challenge, but using text messaging services can help streamline the process and reduce delays in payments.

School Fee Reminders

Send personalized reminders to parents about upcoming or overdue fees. For example, 'Dear Parent, your child’s school fee for January is due by the 15th. Thank you.'

These reminders are a gentle nudge that ensures timely payments and keeps your school’s finances in order.

Instant Receipts

Once a parent makes a payment, send them an instant receipt via SMS. A message like, 'Payment received: 400,000/= for Term 2 fees. Thank you!' provides transparency.

It’s an effective way to build trust and gives parents peace of mind knowing their payment has been recorded.

Sponsorship Notifications

If your school receives financial aid, mass texting can help reach prospective students through parents about the application deadlines and requirements.

For instance, 'Applications for the 2025 scholarship program are open until March 10th. You have been selected to apply!'

Operations

Run Your School Smoothly

Managing daily school operations is no small job for school administrators, but text communication can simplify the process and ensure everyone stays informed.

Attendance Alerts

If a child is absent, send an SMS to their parents. For example, 'Dear Parent, John was absent from school today. Please contact us if this was a mistake.'

This not only keeps parents informed but also emphasizes your commitment to their child’s safety.

School Event Notifications

Keep parents in the loop about upcoming events. For instance, 'Don’t forget! Parent-Teacher Meeting is this Friday at 10 AM.'

Clear communication helps ensure good attendance and smooth event planning.

Emergency Alerts

In case of emergencies, such as unexpected school closures, SMS is the fastest way to deliver emergency information.

A message like, 'Due to heavy rain, school will be closed tomorrow. Stay safe!' ensures parents receive timely updates.

School Admission Campaigns

Use SMS to promote your school and attract new students while giving instructions on the admissions process.

For example, 'Admissions open! Enroll before March 31st to receive a 10% discount.' This is a cost-effective way to reach potential families and grow your school community.

Parent Engagement

Keep Parents Informed

Parents need to be involved in their child’s education, and SMS reminders keep them engaged. Regular updates about their child's progress and open communication are key to fostering involvement, driving student motivation, and enhancing learning outcomes.

Daily Updates

Use mass text messaging to send quick messages about what children are learning each day.

For instance, 'Today, we learned about animals and their habitats. Ask your child about their favorite animal!' This keeps parents informed and encourages meaningful conversations at home.

Student Behavior Notes

Keep parents updated on their child’s behavior.

For example, 'Elina was very helpful during cleanup time today' or 'Tony was a bit distracted in class. Let’s work together to help him focus.' These messages build trust and foster collaboration between parents and teachers.

Parental Feedback

Invite parents to share their thoughts via SMS surveys.

For instance, 'We’d love your feedback! How can we improve our communication with you?' This demonstrates that you value their input and are committed to continuous improvement.

Schedule Changes

Inform parents about changes in school timings or holidays.

For example, 'Early dismissal tomorrow at 1 PM due to staff training.' Clear communication prevents confusion and helps parents plan their day.

School Bus Updates

Notify parents about bus delays or route changes.

For instance, 'The school bus will be 15 minutes late today due to traffic. Thank you for your patience.'

School Meeting Reminders

Remind parents about parent-teacher conferences.

For example, 'Reminder: Parent-Teacher Meeting on Thursday at 10 AM.' This ensures better attendance and fosters collaboration.

Midterm Exam Reminders

Keep parents informed about upcoming exams with automated text messages.

For example, 'Midterm Exams: Scheduled from March 6th to March 10th. Please make sure your child is prepared and arrive on time. Full timetable available on this link https://bit.ly/TYRU.' This helps families plan ahead and prioritize academics.

Health & Safety

Build a Health-Conscious Learning Environment

Creating a health-conscious learning environment requires collaboration between teachers and parents, and SMS communication is the perfect tool to support this effort.

Health Alerts

Send emergency messages to inform parents about health concerns or illnesses in the school.

For example, 'Flu alert: Please monitor your child for symptoms and ensure they bring hand sanitizer.' This shows parents that you prioritize their child’s well-being.

Reminders for Essentials

Send reminders for essential items such as water bottles or hats.

For example, 'Please pack a water bottle and a hat for Sports Day tomorrow.' These small reminders help ensure children are prepared for the day.

Special Events

Drive High Participation in All Your School Events

A reliable communication method helps drive high attendance, builds excitement, and encourages parent involvement in school events.

School Event Invitations

Encourage attendance by sending friendly and engaging invites.

For example, 'Talent Show Alert: Don’t miss the performances this Friday at 5 PM in the auditorium. Let’s cheer for our stars!' This builds excitement and ensures parents and students feel involved.

Registration Drives

Motivate registration with clear instructions.

For example, 'Sports Club Registration: Last day to register for the Feb 12th quiz is Feb 5th! Sign up now and join the fun.' This encourages proactive participation.

Engagement Prompts
