Why Communication Matters

The #1 parent complaint in schools: "We don't know what's happening." Whether it's attendance, fee dues, exam results, or notices — parents expect real-time information. Manual communication (phone calls, circulars) can't scale.

How AttendanceGuru Notifications Work

Three channels, all automated:

  • Push Notifications: Instant alerts on parent's phone (free, unlimited)
  • SMS: For parents without smartphones or app
  • WhatsApp: Rich messages with images, PDFs, and links

What Gets Notified Automatically

  • Student entry/exit (attendance) — instant
  • Fee due reminders — 7 days, 3 days, 1 day before
  • Fee paid confirmation — instant receipt
  • Exam results published
  • Custom notices and circulars
  • Holiday announcements
  • Bus arrival alerts

Impact

Institutes report:

  • 90% reduction in parent phone calls to office
  • 40% faster fee collection (due to reminders)
  • Zero "I didn't know" complaints
  • Parents feel connected and valued
