MoE Approved for Early Notification
School-links is New Zealand's number one Ministry of Education's approved provider of Early Notification that enables schools to send alerts for absent children directly to parents or caregivers by text message and/or e-mail.
The system supports 2-way messaging so absence alerts can be explained by reply and interfaces with all EN-approved Student Management Systems.
Comments from schools about the effectiveness of School-links and the benefits:
Teresa Cargo, Deputy Principal, Sacred Heart Girls’ College, Hamilton
“School-links EN has made it a much easier task for our Student Centre to contact parents about missing students. There is much less tag telephoning and most parents have been very positive about the process. The response to texts is usually quite prompt.”
Richard Harris, Deputy Principal, Tamaki College
“We have found School-links Early Notification has made a significant difference with regard to our students who regularly attend 80% of the time. It raises attendance to approximately 90% (a 10% shift).”
