[sims] Text Messaging Systems

Ok, i thought that parent's checking their own details and submitting changes was a feature of SLG, i didn't realise it wouldn't be a live update. So that too must be storing it somewhere for review.

 

I'm with the opinion that the MIS is the central information store and all other systems are fed from it. Ideally, the upkeep should happen from source too, so we send out data collection forms.

 

We insist on their return, and have a 100% rate. Checking for changes isn't that hard, as it's a printed form, so any pen notations are quite noticeable. I think that at least 60% probably much higher have changes of some sort or another.

 

The only major errors we get from Schoolcomms are when the parents have blocked our mails as SPAM / JUNK, and the system quite smartly takes them off the list until we hammer the parents
