Solihull based texting company txttouch is offering a free service to schools to inform parents of school closures in winter months. Their Managing Director, Nick Maguire has offered this services after learning from the media about the chaos caused by bad weather conditions for schools in the area.
The service will enable parents to know immediately that for whatever reason the school has to close for the day, it will save a lot of time and stress.
Txttouch MD Nick Maguire said “I have a foolproof system for schools to use the parents mobiles as a way of informing them immediately, that the school is closed for the day”
Txttouch works by inviting parents to join their schools texting databases - so in the event of a school closing, the school can send out one text message and it will reach each parent instantly, informing them of the decision.
Txttouch Chairman Mike Harris said "We believe that we can assist the local economy through this difficult time, by offering our services for free, enabling parents to be better informed on their children schooling, which in turn will impact on child care, reducing disruption to both schools and the workplace, which could save vital time and money during this credit crunch."
