What is TXTStream?

TXTStream is the easiest, fastest, most cost-effective way to communicate with parents and staff.

There are three ways to use TXTStream….

1)  General Messaging

Upload your Student Management contact details to a web interface (takes 2 secs) and send an email or a TXT to all your parents at one click of a button! Great for reminders, notices and urgent notifications. 

$20 per month plus $0.17 per txt.

2)  Early Notification (includes small group messaging)

Early Notification - TXTStream is also an MoE Accredited absentee solution and integrates seamlessly with most MoE-accredited Student Management Systems (SMS). By automating this process, TXTStream can save your office team a tremendous amount of time and effort that is probably being currently spent in making (and fielding) calls each day.  As soon as the class rolls have been updated in your SMS, it's just one push of a button to send texts to parents to check about their children's whereabouts.  TXTStream will then field the parents' responses, thereby giving you an excellent method for policing truancy, as well as establishing a better working relationship with parents on attendance issues.

Please note: if you use MUSAC, you will need to be running AB5 or AB6 with eTrackinstalled to use TXTStream 'Early Notification'. Please contact your MUSAC representative to get more information on this.

Small Group Messaging - You can literally sit at your PC, type up an email message, click a button and it will send that message out as a txt to as many mobile phones as you nominate. When parents respond by txt, you get the message back as an email……..it’s fantastic! And it saves the message as a Sent item, just like an email, just in case you need to refer to it again. TXTStream can be part of your Office team's Microsoft Outlook orit can operate as a standalone application (if you use another email client). Great for the sports coach or the choir leader to keep in touch with parents!

$20 per month plus $0.17 per txt and $0.05c per email.

3)  Txt-In

Parents can TXT the school to let them know their child is away up front – not have to wait until the school contacts them!

$20 per month plus school is charged $0.05c per txt that is sent in by parents

(parents will still pay their usual txt fee to their mobile provider).

PLEASE NOTE - we don't have any long contact periods - all services are just month to month!
