## Why PureSMS for your school?

## Streamline administration

SMS is often overlooked in professional education, yet almost everyone has a mobile phone ready to receive urgent communications or changes.

Alert parents to truancy, notify students of exam results, remind people of events, coordinate volunteers and much more. SMS provides a cost-effective, all-encompassing channel to students, staff, and parents that cuts the time wasted on traditional phone calls. With students almost guaranteed to be comfortable with SMS, use it to your advantage.
