Cut your TextAParent.ie spend by 38%

If your school needs to text a parent then the service we offer on NewsFromSchool.com is better value when compared with that on TextAParent.ie from the IPPN.

Our charge of 2.5 cent per text includes vat and is 38% cheaper than the IPPN's TextAParent.ie service.

The table below shows a comparison between NewsFromSchool.com and TextAParent.ie

Example: If a school with 200 pupils sends a text message less than 160 to one parent of each pupil it will cost Eur 8.00 if you send it through the IPPN's TextAParent.ie website but only Eur 5.00 if you use our TextAParent.com or NewsFromSchool.com website. On average the schools that use our system send 2.6 messages per pupil per month over the full year. That equates to a saving of Eur 93.60 for a 200 pupil school per year. That's Eur 93.60 that school would have to spend on something else.

There are not many supplier changes you can make where you get the same service for 38% less.

If you decide to save your school 38% when you text a parent then we will transfer your data (names, mobile numbers and groups) over to our system at no additional cost. You can of course continue to hold an account on TextAParent.ie even if you use our system. There is no cost to try out our cheaper service other than for the messages you send.

Data stored on our system is protected by our Privacy Statement included in the Terms of Use for the service. The data stored by you on our system will never be used for any other purpose other than for you to be able to text a parent when necessary.
