<div class="yiv0878160233MsoNormal">I am looking for a better way to communicate to my parents on a counselor level and administrator level. We all know that JH & HS students do not take home notes, calendars, etc. How are other schools communicating with their parents.
I know some schools send out text messages to parents but what do they use to send this mass text? Is it a program you buy or something on the internet?</div>
<div class="yiv0878160233MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv0878160233MsoNormal">Communication is key and I feel that I am lacking in this area but I just don’t know how to get information to my parents other than mailing things home and that is not always possible.</div>
