Family Communications
From the field. Families can’t act on what they never hear. A parent needs to know their registration went through, whether their child got a seat, and the PIN they’ll use at the door tomorrow morning. Attendly works with your district to send these messages by text and email, using the contact information already synced from your SIS, so families hear from you at the moments that matter.

To the contact synced from your SIS.
The pain
The right message to the right family shouldn’t depend on a mail merge.
Registration status, placement results, and check-in PINs all need to reach families quickly and accurately. When messages go out by hand, staff build contact lists from exports, copy and paste into email, and field calls from parents who never got the update. Outdated phone numbers and emails mean some families are left out entirely.
How it works
We work with your team to reach every family.
