Communication
Parent communication app & WhatsApp alerts
Send announcements, attendance and fee alerts straight to parents through a dedicated app, WhatsApp and SMS — the channels families actually check.
EdFlo's communication hub closes the gap between school and home. Reach every family instantly with announcements, automated alerts and two-way messaging — across a dedicated parent app, WhatsApp and SMS — so nothing important gets lost in a noisy class group.
Parent communication is too easy to get wrong
Informal WhatsApp groups are chaotic, paper circulars get lost in school bags, and important fee or attendance updates never reach the parents who need them most.
- ×Important messages buried in noisy class groups
- ×Circulars that never make it home
- ×No record of what was sent or who saw it
- ×Parents feeling disconnected from school life
