Notices and circulars
Meetings, holidays, sports meets and sudden closures.
School SMS for Sri Lanka.
Every parent informed in minutes.
Paper notices get lost, and not every parent is in a messaging group. An SMS reaches every phone. Send notices, result alerts, attendance messages and fee reminders to parents, students and staff from one web page, in Sinhala, Tamil or English.

How it works
Organised the way a school is.
There is no software to install. If you can use email, you can use this.
- A group for every classKeep parents in groups by grade, class or bus route, and message one group or the whole school.
- Import from your recordsUpload a CSV file exported from your student register or a spreadsheet. Any number format is accepted.
- The child’s name in the messageSave the student’s name with the parent’s number and write {name} in the message. Each parent gets a message about their own child.
- Schedule aheadWrite tomorrow’s reminder today and choose the time it goes out.
What to send
What schools and tuition classes send.
Short, factual messages that parents act on.
Exam results
Tell parents that results are out and where to collect the report card.
Attendance alerts
Let a parent know the same morning when a child is absent.
Fee reminders
A polite reminder before the due date, to the classes that need it.
Timetable changes
Cancelled or extra classes, exam timetable changes and new start times.
Urgent messages
Reach every parent quickly when something cannot wait for a letter.
Tuition classes
For tuition classes and institutes.
A tuition class changes more often than a school does: a hall is not available, a paper class is added, a teacher is delayed. One SMS to the class group saves dozens of phone calls. Keep a group for each class or batch, and save your regular messages as templates so that a notice takes a minute to send.
If you already run a student management system, it can send the messages itself through the SMS API: an attendance alert when the register is marked, or a receipt when fees are paid.
Cost
Pay only for the messages you send.
There is no monthly fee and no minimum volume, which suits a school that sends a few notices a term as well as one that sends every day.

Is this a full school management system?
No. AVC SMS is an SMS service: it sends messages and reports on their delivery. It works on its own from the web portal, and it can be connected to a school management system through the API.
How do we add parents’ phone numbers?
Type them in, paste them, or upload a CSV file from your records. Numbers can be grouped by class and used again for every notice.
Can we send messages in Sinhala or Tamil?
Yes. Sinhala and Tamil messages are sent as Unicode automatically. One part holds 70 characters, and the count is shown as you type.
Can the school’s name appear as the sender?
Yes. Request a sender ID with the school’s name, up to 11 characters, and upload a signed letter on the school’s letterhead. Most are approved within one working day.
How much does it cost a school?
Messages cost Rs. 0.60 to Rs. 0.79 per part depending on monthly volume. There is no setup fee, no monthly fee and no expiry on credit.
