Abstract
Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress and working together is success. Successful teachers communicate with the parents. Collaboration between parents and teacher is absolutely crucial to a student success. Create an open path of communication so parents present a united front, there is a lower chance that your student will fall through the cracks. ; Most parents make great plans for their children making sure they attend a good grammar and high school. They prepare for years for the child’s adulthood by planning for college or special training. No one would for a minute, who loved their child, would neglect seeing the child attend school and getting a good secular education. The purpose in this project is establish easy communication between school and parents using fast and low cost SMS messaging system, because it has a major advantage in communicating with parents. That helps to increase student success with communication between school and parents. This project is an android based application for communicate with parents using SMS (Short Message Service). Capable to send and receive SMS between — school and parents including text- content students’ grade marks, attendance, announcements and congratulations. As fast as phone call but cheaper also it doesn't matter if the parent is busy or not. This application can send grade marks to the parents, also if parents want to know grades marks, application response "info" text from the parents as student's grade marks. Of course this is first step of the communication with parents. If that way fails teacher needs to move communication to next step. As Groves described "If phone calls fail to produce any significant improvement in a student's behavior, you'll want to move on to the next step: scheduling a face-to-face parent conference. Mobile communication, with its quick-messaging capabilities and computerlike information processing, can empower them to work together. Ideally, the physical presence of parents at the school would boost education in many ways, but parents are normally away from schools. Mobile devices, however, have been popular for reducing the distance between people.
