We will update this post as we add commands to the Parent SMS auto reply system.

The following Commands are currently available. Any parent can send the SMS from any phone that is listed in their account.

? - Will respond with the gps info from last two buses that their children are on. For example:

8:00 AM Bus after #14-1017 52nd St. You are #29-1161 54th St. Est Arrival 8:18 16
7:00 AM Bus was by #8-12th Ave & 44th St

S - Will respond with the schedule for the locations that their children attend. You can update this message on the Web Site (https://jlssolutions.com/QA/3495/update-sms-schedule-auto-reply) or in the software by administration by the ValueText2 column under Locations. For Example:

Talmud Torah: April 03 Only class 5 or above. No transportation. Please pick up on time.
Pre-School: April 03 Closed.

H - Will respond with the teacher assigned homework for that day for all class that their children are enrolled. For Example:

Moshe - 1A:Math Page Sent home and Reader Page 9-11
Yanky - 3B:No Homework setup for today.
Yitzchok - 5A: Study for Gemara test Eruvin 12. from the mishna

Bus - This will respond with the current location of all the buses. If you sent also a bus number (Bus 116) you will get a response only of that bus, Only available when coming from a phone that has the word Bus or Staff in the status column.

Sample Response:

116: 1234 45th St, BK
115: 1657 43th St, BK
112: 1732 39th St, BK

Bus Stop - This will respond same as bus, but will also add to each bus by what was the last stop it picked up from the Routes entered in the system. You can also include the bus number to get only that bus.

Sample Response:

116: 1234 45th St, BK. Last Stop 22, 765 58th St 3:19 P
115: 1657 43th St, BK. Last Stop -1, 1338 49th St 3:22 P
112: 1732 39th St, BK. Last Stop 28, 1765 48th St 3:20 P

All the above messages can now be sent via email too. The benefit of using email is that you get one long response instead of split in multiple text.
