SMS/Text Messaging
Quick, Direct Communication When It Matters Most
What This Page Is
This is a preview of the SMS/Text Messaging feature—an optional add-on for homeschool group admins who need a fast, direct way to reach members with important, time-sensitive announcements.
This is for one-way, one-time messages—ideal for moments when email just isn’t fast enough.
Seamless Communication Across Your Hub
Built-in Communication That Covers Almost Everything
Your Homeschool Life Hub already provides seamless, multi-channel communication:
Conversations that flow across the website, email, and (soon) the app
Direct emails to members
Announcements visible on your website
Newsletters that can reach both members and non-members
These tools work together to keep your group informed and connected in one place.
But even with all of that, some groups still need a faster way to reach members—instantly and directly.
That’s where SMS/Text Messaging comes in. It’s perfect for one-time, time-sensitive updates when you can’t risk someone missing an email or app notification.
Why Add SMS/Text Messaging?
When something can’t wait—like a last-minute change, urgent alert, or time-sensitive reminder—this add-on lets you:
-
Send a one-way SMS message directly to members’ phones
-
Reach your entire group or selected recipients
-
Deliver critical information outside of email or app notifications
It’s not used for back-and-forth communication—just quick, essential announcements.
How It Works
-
Messages are sent from your admin dashboard
-
You choose the recipients—all members or a filtered group
-
Only admins with permission can send SMS/Text messages
Each SMS message sent to a recipient counts as one message.
For example: sending one SMS to 100 members = 100 messages used.
