Once a day in the early evening parents receive a personalized message by cellular SMS text message and email telling them what their child needs to do for school the next day. It informs parents if there is any homework to be done that night, if there are tests or quizzes coming up and any other information. The key to this system is that every day, automatically without fail, a text message and email is sent directly to parents’ phones and computers telling them exactly what their child needs to do for school the next day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is an example of how it works on a personal level:

Let’s look at a student named Ben. Ben's mom wants him to succeed but is never sure how to help because she isn’t sure what she should talk with him about. She knows Ben is failing several classes by just a few percent. He also doesn’t seem to remember to study for tests and quizzes. Ben’s mom tries to talk with him about his schoolwork, but Ben usually just tells her he doesn’t have any homework and he usually forgets to study for tests. Her life is incredibly busy and she simply has to take him at his word despite his poor grades. She usually doesn’t have time to rifle through his backpack and folders everyday to check on him. Even when she does make the time, she ends up finding little information due to Ben’s lack of organization. One can imagine many more scenarios like this that play out far more regularly than we would like to believe.

Now imagine if Ben’s mom were to get an email and a text message everyday (right to her phone, which she of course never is without) at exactly 5:30 p.m telling her what Ben has to do in school the next day.

Do you think that would make a difference?

Signing up requires no effort on the parents end. If parents didn’t like the idea or don’t need the updates they have the option of opting out and not getting any messages at all. It is completely up to them!

Secondary Example:

An example of the text message ParentEdge sends out automatically for secondary schools (Middle, Jr. High, and High) at a set time every day/night. The information contained is customized specifically to the student/parent receiving it. Everything is automated. All teachers have to do is literally take about 30 seconds a day (or less in most cases) and put in the students homework or responsibilities for class the following day. ParentEdge does the rest automatically.

Elementary Example
(Image not included in actual text message.)

Here you can see an example of the text message ParentEdge sends out to the Parents of elementary school students. This message goes out automatically at a time decided by the school every day. Teachers simply take about 30 seconds and enter whatever they want into the short message. ParentEdge does the rest automatically.
