There are endless emails. App notifications. Scrunched up notes in school bags.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No wonder so many parents say \u201cI missed that note\u201d or \u201cI never got the message.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help important messages get through, leading schools, universities, and training colleges are turning to text messages. Unlike other forms of communication, SMS cuts through \u2014 each and every time. In fact, it can boost the response rate to school admin requests <a href=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/au\/case-studies\/sms-delivers-effective-communication-with-parents-in-schools\/\">by 88%<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is SMS for education?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Schools and educational institutions use SMS as a quick and easy way to stay in touch with members of the school community \u2014 both for one-to-one communication and bulk messaging out to everyone.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a school administrator could use SMS to send a quick reminder to a parent who hasn\u2019t signed an excursion form, or to schedule parent-teacher interviews. A teacher could send a message to remind students about an upcoming text or exam. Or, they could send a quick progress update to a parent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the most common ways SMS gets used in education:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bulk SMS alerts and notifications to whole-school communities&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two-way conversations with parents and\/or students&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enrolment and fee reminders&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registrations and recruitment updates&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\r\n  <div class=\"cta  px-3 py-4 my-5 rounded bg-primary\">\r\n    <div class=\"row justify-content-center align-items-center\">\r\n      <div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n        <div>\r\n          <h2 class=\"mb-4\">\r\n            Want to take SMS for a spin?          <\/h2>\r\n\r\n          <p class=\"mb-4\"><\/p>\r\n\r\n                      <div class=\"btn-group mb-0\">\r\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/hub.messagemedia.com\/register\"  class=\"btn btn-secondary btn-sm mb-3  \" >Start messaging for free<\/a>            <\/div>\r\n                  <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      \r\n        <div class=\"col-md-6 text-center\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid\" width=\"640\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Signup-02.png\" alt=\"Image for Want to take SMS for a spin?\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <style>\r\n    \/* todo move this to cta scss *\/\r\n    .longform-content .cta {\r\n      padding: 3rem !important;\r\n      background-color: rgb(235, 238, 240) !important; \/* bg light *\/\r\n      border-radius: 1rem !important; \/* rounded 3 *\/\r\n      margin: 1.5rem 0; \/*my-4*\/ \r\n    }\r\n  <\/style>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why SMS gets a gold star in education.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redsearch.com.au\/resources\/australian-mobile-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">20 million Australians own a phone,<\/a> it\u2019s a safe bet that parents and caregivers in your school community can receive text messages from you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, in fact, they want to. The next generation of school parents (here\u2019s looking at you, millennials) barely check voicemail, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openmarket.com\/resources\/millennials-still-love-text\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">75% prefer text to talking<\/a>. Today\u2019s school kids (hey, Gen Zs) prefer texting, too, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivaltech.com\/blog\/gen-z-millennials-ignoring-email-surveys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">67% \u2018rarely\u2019 or \u2018never\u2019 using email<\/a> to talk to family or friends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better yet, SMS is fast. It\u2019s cheap. And it\u2019s oh-so-effective in getting important messages across. By using text messages in your school, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get messages out fast.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>95% of text messages are <a href=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/au\/blog\/messaging-101-what-is-sms\/\">sent within two seconds<\/a>, giving you the confidence that important messages will be received in an instant.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This immediacy can be critical in a school setting \u2014 particularly if there\u2019s an emergency or unexpected change to the regular schedule. For example, the school may need to close on a day of extreme bushfire risk. Or a school bus may break down, affecting all the students on that route.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In moments like these, you need the assurance that critical messages are seen by all those potentially affected. And SMS delivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free up teachers\u2019 time.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers just want to teach. They don\u2019t want to be chasing Charlie about an unexplained absence, or harrassing Harry about his homework. The more effective a school\u2019s communications strategy is, the less time teachers spend on menial tasks like these.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And SMS is highly effective. Teachers can have quick, two-way conversations with students or their parents \u2014 and get the answers they need much faster than if they were to pick up the phone and call, or wait for an email response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lighten the admin load.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the front office of any school, the admin team is always juggling a million jobs. From calling parents about little Sadie\u2019s forgotten lunchbox, to chasing up enrolments and fees, the tasks can feel endless.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS helps reduce the administrative load with intelligent and automated workflows, bulk SMS, and direct conversational messaging. It means your admin staff can be more productive and tick off all the other important tasks on their to-do lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep everyone in the loop, or not.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By managing all your messaging from a purpose-built SaaS solution, you can easily build contact lists for different teams or departments within your school or college.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could update contact records with notes or assign conversations to other team members. In a flexible working environment like an educational insitution, with staff coming and going, it\u2019s a great way to make sure messages still get through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, though, your staff don\u2019t need to know about every single message that comes through. To enable this, you can create subaccounts for each teacher, so they can manage their own student communication independently of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n  <div class=\"cta  px-3 py-4 my-5 rounded bg-primary\">\r\n    <div class=\"row justify-content-center align-items-center\">\r\n      <div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n        <div>\r\n          <h2 class=\"mb-4\">\r\n            &#8220;Graduates tell us that if it wasn\u2019t for those text messages, they wouldn\u2019t be here today.&#8221;          <\/h2>\r\n\r\n          <p class=\"mb-4\"><\/p>\r\n\r\n                      <div class=\"btn-group mb-0\">\r\n              <a href=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/au\/case-studies\/online-education-uses-sms-to-support-student-success\/\"  class=\"btn btn-secondary btn-sm mb-3  \" >Read case study<\/a>            <\/div>\r\n                  <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      \r\n        <div class=\"col-md-6 text-center\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid\" width=\"640\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Signup-02.png\" alt=\"Image for \"Graduates tell us that if it wasn\u2019t for those text messages, they wouldn\u2019t be here today.\"\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <style>\r\n    \/* todo move this to cta scss *\/\r\n    .longform-content .cta {\r\n      padding: 3rem !important;\r\n      background-color: rgb(235, 238, 240) !important; \/* bg light *\/\r\n      border-radius: 1rem !important; \/* rounded 3 *\/\r\n      margin: 1.5rem 0; \/*my-4*\/ \r\n    }\r\n  <\/style>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top tips for using SMS in education.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The report card is in. SMS gets an A+ in education for its easy ability to get the right messages to the right people, at the right time. Question is, how can your school or education institution start reaping its benefits?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the following tips in mind when getting started with SMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Steer clear of spam.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As an organisation sending messages out to \u2018customers\u2019, you\u2019ll need to follow the rules of the Spam Act 2003.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Australian law, you\u2019re not allowed to send marketing messages to people unless you have their consent. In education, for example, this could be a promotion about an upcoming course that a student might like to enrol in.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you send such messages, get your students\u2019 and (when applicable) parents\u2019 consent. Then, make sure to include:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your business name&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your contact details&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An easy way to unsubscribe&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t follow the rules, your messages could be flagged as spam, potentially leading to costly audits or suspension of your messaging campaigns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acma.gov.au\/avoid-sending-spam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Australia\u2019s spam rules<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Personalise your messages.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to make every student feel like a star and build stronger rapport with members of your school community? Personalising your messages is the way to go \u2014 simply include their name, the course or subject they\u2019re enrolled in, and any other specifics that are helpful to the text message. You can even use custom merge fields to personalise bulk messages to each student.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To build even stronger relationships, encourage your school community to use SMS to communicate. With <a href=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/au\/features\/two-way-sms\/\">two-way texting,<\/a> students, parents, and even staff can respond to texts \u2014 which is great for things like booking parent-teacher interviews and following up on student enquiries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Stick to boundaries with automated workflows.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, SMS is great for anytime, anywhere communication. But the last thing you want is for teachers to get burnt out from a constant barrage of \u2018pings\u2019 from stressed students trying to finish homework late at night. Likewise, you don\u2019t want parents thinking your school\u2019s slack when noone responds to their question (sent at 9pm) about tomorrow morning\u2019s music concert.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid situations like these, establish boundaries with SMS. Make it clear to students and parents when text messages will be responded to, and by whom. You could also set up a simple automated response for OOO messages to assure them it will be followed up on the next school day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Use a mobile app for more streamlined SMS.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With our <a href=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/au\/features\/mobile-app\/\">mobile app<\/a>, it\u2019s easier than ever for your teachers to stay in touch with the school community. They can use their mobile phone to send work-related messages from the app (using the school phone number), while keeping their personal messaging separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mobile app gives teachers more flexibility. They could send out a bulk message from their computer before class, and then get on with teaching away from the computer \u2014 knowing they can handle replies on the fly from the mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Power up your existing platforms.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use a student management system or learning platform, then you should definitely look at integrating SMS into that platform. This way, there\u2019s no need to train staff how to use a new tool \u2014 instead, it\u2019s all contained in the familiar platform they already know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, it keeps everything centralised, with easy access to past conversations with students and parents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/au\/integrations\/\">our existing integrations<\/a>, or if you have a question about a specific platform your school uses, <a href=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/au\/contact\/\">reach out<\/a> to see how it could play nicely with ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Text templates to help you hit the ground running.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use these ready-to-go templates as a starting point, and adapt them to suit the needs of your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enrolment confirmation.<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SMS-example-for-enrollment-confirmation.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40567\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:400px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SMS-example-for-enrollment-confirmation.png 800w, https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SMS-example-for-enrollment-confirmation-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SMS-example-for-enrollment-confirmation-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SMS-example-for-enrollment-confirmation-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>TEMPLATE: <\/strong>Hi [Name], congratulations.
