In their own words
SchoolPost
SchoolPost is a communications hub for schools, parents, staff and pupils. It combines email, SMS, secure message history, and online reply and consent forms. Schools can target messages to classes, groups, individual students, parents or staff. Staff can monitor replies and send reminders, while parents reply online, manage contact preferences, choose daily or weekly summaries and filter messages by child. 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. Firefly says setup and maintenance require very little work. The service is available on Android, iOS and web. Pricing is on request, with a demo booking offered. Firefly says student personal data is not used for marketing, and records are deleted within 30 days after customer engagement ends.
