Text Messaging Parents
Over in the UK, text messaging is taking on new importance as a way to communicate with the parents of school children. From LeedsToday.net:
FOR 27,000 parents, a reminder of an upcoming teacher training day, or a message that a school trip is returning late, could soon arrive instantly by text message thanks to Leeds-based communication company Cy-nap.
Cy-nap has closed a deal worth tens of thousands of pounds over the next few years to provide Sheffield schools with the technology to send text messages to any combination of students ranging from individuals to whole schools.
