This one is set up on request rather than switched on from your account. Tell us you need it and we will fit it to your center, and quote it, as part of onboarding.
Add-on
Text Messaging
Text parents from a number that belongs to your center
Email is the wrong channel for anything urgent. Nobody watches an inbox to find out the center is closing early, and nobody watches one to find out whether their child arrived.
Set up on request, quoted with your onboarding.
What it should do
- Two-way texting from your center's number
- Broadcast to a class, a center, or everyone
- Same templates and merge fields as email
Written as intent, not as a promise. Nothing here is built.
What it will do
Two-way conversations with a parent, and broadcasts to a group, from a number belonging to your center rather than a staff member's personal phone.
- Two-way
- Parents can reply, and the reply comes to you in Classivo.
- Broadcast
- A class, a center, or your whole list.
- Shared templates
- The same merge fields the email side already uses.
Why this one is priced differently
Carriers bill per message, so "unlimited" texting always has a limit somewhere, even when a plan does not say so. This will be the one add-on with usage-based pricing: a monthly allowance with a published overage rate, so you can see the ceiling before you hit it. Text messaging in the US also requires registering your center with the carriers first. That is real paperwork and we do it as part of onboarding rather than handing you a link to a form.
Mix and match
The other add-ons
Add only what you need. The one dependency is Language Pack, which translates Document Organizer forms and so needs that add-on.
Document Organizer
Enrollment, schedule change and cancellation, all in one inbox
Staff Time Tracker
Badge scan in, payroll export out
Parent Orientation & Conference Scheduling
One shared week, and meetings parents book themselves
Customized Language Pack
Up to five languages of your choosing, on the forms themselves
Student Check-In
QR badges, a scanner at the door, a live board
Would this be the reason you buy?
We are small, and the build order is not fixed. If Text Messaging is what would make Classivo worth it for your center, saying so is the most useful thing you can do — it genuinely changes what gets built first.
