Staff and communication

School communication: notices, SMS, email and app

Parents should not hear about a holiday from a WhatsApp forward. With JCABS, the school sends notices, SMS and email from one place — to the whole school, one class, a group of staff or a single parent — and everything also lands in the app.

Teachers and parents can chat inside the app, so conversations stay with the school instead of on personal phone numbers.

Communication: common questions

Something else on your mind? Write to us at [email protected].

Which SMS providers can we use?

MSG91, Textlocal, SMS Country, Twilio, Clickatell and BulkSMS are supported, and a custom SMS gateway can be configured if your provider is not listed. You use your own SMS account, so you keep your sender ID and pay your provider’s rates.

Do parents need to install an app?

The app gives parents the most — notifications, chat, fees and results in one place — but notices also go out by SMS and email, so parents without the app are not left out.
