Aren't they going to text the parents rather than the child themselves? Isn't this just a variant on the system most schools already have of phoning the parent? It's probably quicker to send the one "your child did not show up for registration" message to multiple recipients than to phone each parent individually.

The only snag would be if, like me, you have two children at the same school.
