SchoolAlerts.ie is free for parents and there are NO SMS costs. Alerts are delivered as push notifications through apps such as Facebook Messenger, Viber & Telegram. A budget-friendly annual service fee is the only cost for schools.
Schools can power their communications strategy through the SchoolAlerts.ie website. Alerts can be targeted to classes, individual parents, or the entire school. We import all your numbers from a spreadsheet at the start of the school year.
All you need is your Roll Number to set up your school and it takes seconds to create a free account. Parents can register on this site and link to their preferred app channel to receive alerts (Messenger, Telegram or Viber).
For most of us, there's Facebook Messenger...
Rather than rely on costly SMS messages, SchoolAlerts.ie targets smartphones using Facebook Messenger. The majority of parents already have this App on their phone and they are used to it. It's a quick and free way to send targeted messages to parents through a familiar channel.
For everybody else, there's Telegram & Viber
If you do not use Facebook, then there are other options you may already be familiar with. Telegram and Viber are becoming increasingly popular for messaging services. They are both free and easy to use. These apps will work for any smartphone (iPhone, Android, Windows).
