There’s a whole lot more to successful School SMS communication than just sending a text message to Parents. Implementing an effective SMS communication strategy is a significant, school-wide undertaking.
Today, many SIS, LMS and Roll-marking technology providers have some SMS capability.
But the truth is, their product focus is not on SMS communication – it’s just tacked on as an afterthought. Essential features necessary to implement a sustained, automated School SMS communication strategy, such as functionality for automated best practice attendance management communication and School community SMS messaging, are missing. Message delivery is often delegated to discount off-shore third party gateway providers, resulting in security of school data unknowingly being compromised by being copied and sold for marketing purposes.
Schools that try this approach quickly experience staff resistance because of increased workloads. This in turn often leads to project abandonment – or the project never gets off the ground to begin with. Schools turn to MGM to create dependable solutions that increase the School’s standing in the community.
