Jefferson Junior High School - Utah

So I just had the coolest conversation with Chris Stoker at Jefferson Junior High about how they are getting the word out about online payments during fall registration.

Her school uses TxtWire (http://www1.txtwire.com/). Their txtdispatcher product enables administrators to send text messages to parents who subscribe to receive updates about school information.

Along with adding information in their packets, she's gotten the principal to communicate via text message with all of their subscribers about the WebStore option during fall registration.

How cool is that??

Text messages are instant, more often read than emails and not as time-consuming as phone calls and they provide an efficient and accurate means of communication.

Thought I would share this idea with everyone b/c I am totally impressed!!

  2. Not exactly sure how much it costs, but it looks like on their website you can request a free 15 day trial!
