ScholaSys · Bulk Email and SMS
Reach every parent in seconds
Send a newsletter by email or an urgent SMS to the whole school or a single class, with a record of every message on each child’s file.
What it does for your school
Newsletters by email
Emails can have formatting, images, tables and attachments, so newsletters and notices look the way you want.
Urgent SMS
Most SMS messages arrive within seconds. Replies from parents come back to the school’s email address.
Proof of delivery
Every email and SMS is added to each child’s notes. SMS delivery statuses are added the next morning.
How it works
- Create an email or SMS batch and write the message.
- Choose the recipients: all parents, or a group of children.
- Add attachments to an email if you need them.
- Confirm the batch. A notification tells you when sending starts and when it has finished.
Good to know
- Parents who reply STOP to an SMS are opted out, as the law requires, and ScholaSys stops sending SMS messages to that number.
- Statements and report cards emailed from ScholaSys are recorded on the child’s notes too.
- Parents see the emails and SMS messages sent about their children on the Parent Portal.
- Bulk email is included in every plan; SMS is optional and charged per message.
Questions schools ask
Can parents reply to an SMS?
Yes. Replies are sent to the school’s email address.
What happens if a parent opts out of SMS?
By law the school can no longer SMS that number. ScholaSys marks the number as invalid so no further SMS messages are sent to it.
Is SMS included in the price?
SMS is optional and charged per message. Bulk email is included in every plan.
