Text Messaging Platform for Schools | A two-way approach to communicate
Text with Students, Parents, and Departments
Text messaging is the most popular means of communication for college students. Use text messaging platform to send reminders as submission deadlines approach. Text messaging can even be used to help students in both scheduling, confirming, and attending their meetings with their advisers. With text messaging services administrators can even text with multiple students at once to schedule and confirm appointments and even answer simple questions often preventing the need to see a counsellor in the first place.
Schools have a range of communication challenges — from attracting new students to engaging with existing ones and their families.
On top of this, students, parents, and staff are all busy. So it can be difficult to get important information in front of them.
That’s where school SMS messages come into play. Schools ranging from Pre-K to colleges are using SimpleTexting to reach their audience and:
-Set up an emergency text alert system
-Send information about financial aid programs
-Remind students or parents about closures, parent teacher meetings, and other events
-Set up a hotline where students or parents can ask questions
-Offer students and parents helpful resources
-And more!
