TextaParent.ie is a dual messaging service – we use both SMS (text) and Push (App notification). While App notifications are a good method of communication, they cannot always be relied on to deliver important notifications. There are times parents will not have access to Wi-Fi or mobile data coverage, but they can nearly always receive a text message.

It is hard to get all of the parent body to commit to downloading a messaging app, because of this TextaParent has everybody covered.
TextaParent has been cleverly designed to send whatever message your parents need. If they have the TextaParent App downloaded, they will receive the Push notification. If they don’t have the App downloaded, then a SMS message will be sent to them.

If the parent has no Wi-Fi coverage or their mobile data is not connected, then obviously the app will not be available for receiving notifications. Don’t worry -TextaParent can determine that the app is not available on the parent’s phone and will send a standard text message, ensuring that the parent stays informed.

Advantages for our members
As an IPPN member our unit price per credit to your school is 5.5cent. This includes all taxes and charges. There is no additional VAT added to this price. This is something you should keep in mind when other providers claim to provide the same service at a cheaper cost to your school.

There are a number of alternative commercial products available on the market. However, unlike TextaParent, these products are for profit making companies or individuals. All revenue generated through TextaParent.ie is reinvested to provide your essential core IPPN member services including:

• networking@ippn.ie mailing list
• Professional Guidance call-back service
• County Network meetings
• CPD
  

Textaparent is not only for school – it can be used for Afterschool Clubs, Sports Clubs, Theatre Groups, Community groups, pre-schools and much more.
