Hi Todd I think this is software generated text messages to parents. If so, we don't use it at the moment. It's a great idea (if you have a cellphone so it wouldn't help me).
Attendence checking (not counting calling the roll or phoning home but counting data collection, data entry, printing out and posting in pigeonholes) probably takes 5-6 man-hours per day here. I wouldn't say truancy is a big issue but attendance is. Also, schools are pretty twitchy about young kids not turning up without prior notice, like a phone call.
