Over 100,000 alerts have been sent to parents today with many more expected as schools close due to heavy snow. Using Call Parents, an automated notification system, schools alerted parents of the closures quickly using text messages and automated phone calls.
Installed in over 1,000 primary and secondary schools in the UK, Call Parents (www.callparents.com) is an automatic notification system which enables schools to send a message to parents via text message (SMS) or automated phone call. The system reads live pupil contact information direct from the school’s management system and can send specific messages to parents of a specific class, year or group. Messages can be sent to inform parents when report cards have gone home, when parents’ evenings are taking place, to warn them about school closures, cancellations or delays to events and returning from a school trip.
