How do I text (SMS) parents from the provider dashboard?

If you would like to communicate through text (SMS) with the parent of a student in your session, you can do so from your provider dashboard. Our tool allows you to send a text message to individual parents, or to all parents of students in a session at once. 

1. From the menu to the left, underneath "Camps & Classes", click on "Sessions List".

2. Find the session you want and click on the "Enrolled" link (example below).

3. Find the name of the student/parent that you'd like to send a text message to and click the "SMS" button next to that student's name (example below).

4. Compose a text message to send to the parent in the window that appears. Click the pink "Send" button to send when finished (example below).

5. If you would instead like to send a text message to all parents of students in a particular session at once, click the "SMS Parents" button at the top of the session page (example below). 

6. The window that opens will automatically have all enrolled students in the session selected. You can deselect the names of any student you do not wish to send the text to. Click the pink "Next" button (example below). 

7. Compose a text message to send to parents in the window that appears. Click the pink "Send" button to send when finished (example below). 

NOTE: 6crickets charges USD$0.09 per text message per receiver.
