A secure mailbox provides access to sensitive messages and communication history. Parents can complete forms, and schools can publish exam results online. Teachers can send SMS messages while offsite on school trips. SchoolPost integrates with existing systems and school MIS data and works with a preferred MIS/SIS provider.
