Question is, what\u2019s the best way to reach busy parents?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many schools still rely on a mix of email, apps and paper notices to connect with families. These messages can go unread. Others use the phone, leaving voicemail messages that often go unheard. In fact, 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>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If email, apps, phone calls and flyers aren\u2019t the answer, what is? Two words: text messages. SMS is a low-cost, familiar and fast communications channel. And, with 98% of text messages read within the first two minutes, it gives school teachers and administrators the reassurance that their messages are being seen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help your school get started with SMS, here are 7 practical, effective ways to send text messages to parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to lighten the school admin load with SMS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let\u2019s look at how your school\u2019s administrators can use text messaging to send important notices and alerts to parents quickly and cost-effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Help parent-teacher interviews run like clockwork<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scheduling parent-teacher interviews can be an administrative nightmare. Held over several hours, and with only 10-15 minutes allotted to each child, the sessions must run like clockwork. No-shows and late arrivals can really throw out teachers\u2019 schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sending a quick SMS one day prior \u2013 and another an hour before \u2013 can help ensure parents are on time and don\u2019t miss their meetings. It\u2019s easy to integrate these reminders into your scheduling system and automate the reminders to lessen the burden on your admin staff.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/X-ways-to-use-texting-messaging-in-schools-and-uni-Phone-image-1.png\" alt=\"Hi Jane, this is a reminder of your meeting with Ms Appleby at 4pm tomorrow.

Let parents know about upcoming events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Between fundraisers, sports events, themed days, Book Week, holidays and more, the school year is jam-packed with activities. And it can be hard for parents to keep up. Yet the last thing any parent wants is for their child to turn up out of costume or without the right gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Help parents stay on top of the school term with bulk SMS. Alerts can be sent to the entire student population or can target specific classes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/X-ways-to-use-texting-messaging-in-schools-and-uni-Phone-image-2.png\" alt=\"Hi Jane, it\u2019s Crazy Hair day tomorrow at St John\u2019s Elementary tomorrow, with prizes up for grabs for craziest hair.

Tackle truancy and absenteeism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re trying to tackle a truancy problem or just need a better way for parents to notify the school about why their child is absent, SMS can be an ideal channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a messaging platform like MessageMedia, it\u2019s easy to send automated alerts to parents if a child is skipping class. If students know that parents are automatically alerted, they\u2019re more likely to show up. On the flip side, if a parent needs to let the school know why their child\u2019s not in class, SMS is an easy channel for notes like these.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/X-ways-to-use-texting-messaging-in-schools-and-uni-Phone-image-3.png\" alt=\"Dear Jane, this is to inform you that Molly was marked as absent today.

Send alerts and emergency messages to all<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the phone lines are down or a bus service has been temporarily suspended, it\u2019s important to let parents know what\u2019s going on. Same goes for when you\u2019re running an emergency drill \u2013 nearby parents will appreciate knowing that the alarm they hear is nothing to be worried about. Or, if there\u2019s a real emergency, such as a bushfire or school lockdown, you\u2019ll need to tell all parents immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS is ideal for such messages, with the ability to broadcast important messages in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/X-ways-to-use-texting-messaging-in-schools-and-uni-Phone-image-4.png\" alt=\"IMPORTANT: school has been cancelled today due to severe weather conditions.

To fix this, teachers can use SMS to send updates about a child\u2019s progress, request a parent interview, or report on scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"856\" src=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/missed-assignment-alert-1-1.jpeg\" alt=\"missed assignment alert 1 1\" class=\"wp-image-26245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/missed-assignment-alert-1-1.jpeg 710w, https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/missed-assignment-alert-1-1-249x300.jpeg 249w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"856\" src=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/low-grade-alert-1-1.jpeg\" alt=\"low grade alert 1 1\" class=\"wp-image-26246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/low-grade-alert-1-1.jpeg 710w, https:\/\/messagemedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/low-grade-alert-1-1-249x300.jpeg 249w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
