Keep parents up to date wherever you are
When you take children out of school for a trip or residential, it's important to keep parents up to date. Particularly on residentials parents want to know:
- Did you get there okay?
- Is everybody alright?
And so you will probably find yourself ringing back to the school office, leaving messages, and putting posters on the school notice board.
New rules about taking residential trips during term time
Government targets now mean that many schools are having to take trips outside term time. So there is no school office to call. If you want to reach parents you have to do it yourself. Other systems would have you find a computer and internet connection somewhere - not particularly helpful if you are on the bus.
Putting you in control of communications
TXTRound empowers the person with the information to communicate directly with parents using just their mobile phone. It's incredibly simple to use. Just start your message with a 5 digit security code that relates to the particular trip and send it to our standard rate text number. TXTRound will within seconds forward it to every parent in the group. Your mobile number is safe and never gets passed on.
It's the only reliable way to communicate on a trip
This really is the simplest, most reliable way to get your message through. Whether you are skiing in France, watching a show in London or simply on your way back from a football match.
You need less signal to send a text message than to make a call - and the recipient may not understand a voicemail from a weak mobile signal (you know how hard they can be to hear sometimes).
You don't have to rely on reaching someone for them to sit at the computer sending a message.
YOU ARE IN COMPLETE CONTROL
