Real time communication in the Zunia App

Zunia's two-way messaging feature takes school communication to the next level by enabling real-time, meaningful conversations between parents and school staff. Parents can respond directly to updates, ask questions and provide feedback on their child’s progress. Whether it’s an event reminder, schedule change or important announcement, communication has never been easier

School staff can initiate, review and manage conversations with full visibility and control, ensuring all threads remain organised and on track. And Zunia’s read receipt feature means teachers and administrators know when messages have been seen, reducing the chances of any missed communications
