Our average monthly bill for sending text message reminders to parents is \u00a390.\u00a0 We use this service for emergency announcements such as road closure updates or schools closure information.\u00a0 We notice that we have been sending texts to remind parents of sporting events or to remind them of deadlines for payment.\u00a0 Please\u00a0 look at the blog or contact the school for further information to help us reduce the need to send text messages in the future.<\/p>\n
