FAQs About Back-to-school Text Messaging Software

How can back to school messaging help schools connect with families? −
Back to school text messaging creates instant communication channels between schools and parents during the busiest time of year. You can send enrollment reminders, supply list updates, orientation schedules, and first day instructions directly to mobile devices. Textellent makes it simple to reach every family with timely information that keeps everyone prepared and informed.
What types of automated campaigns work best for back to school season? +
Automated welcome sequences for new students, countdown reminders before the first day, and supply checklist confirmations drive the highest engagement. You can trigger messages based on grade level, program enrollment, or registration status to deliver personalized content. Textellent lets you build these campaigns once and run them automatically each year with minimal adjustments.
Can text messaging reduce administrative workload during enrollment periods? +
Absolutely. Texting handles repetitive tasks like confirming document submissions, answering common questions through auto-replies, and sending payment reminders without staff intervention. This frees your team to focus on complex inquiries and in person support. Textellent's automation features cut manual communication time by up to 70% during peak registration weeks.
Does back to school texting improve parent participation rates? +
Text messages achieve 98% open rates compared to 20% for email, making them far more effective for critical announcements. Parents respond faster to orientation invites, volunteer signups, and event confirmations when contacted via SMS. Textellent's tracking shows schools using text messaging see 3x higher attendance at back to school events.
How do we segment messages for different student groups? +
Textellent allows you to create custom tags based on grade level, program type, transportation needs, or any other criteria in your system. You can send targeted messages about specific class requirements, bus route changes, or extracurricular opportunities to relevant families only. This precision prevents message fatigue and keeps communication relevant for every recipient.
Can we collect forms and permissions through text messaging? +
Yes. You can send links to digital forms, permission slips, and health documents directly through SMS with simple reply options for quick confirmations. Textellent tracks completion rates and sends automatic follow-ups to families who haven't responded. This approach collects required paperwork 5x faster than traditional methods while maintaining complete records.
