Opus1 Add-On
Your families read texts. Make sure they get yours.
Opus1 SMS gives your school a real, dedicated phone number for two-way texting with families, built directly into the platform. Send lesson reminders, handle last-minute cancellations, and reach everyone at once without switching apps or hoping someone checks their inbox.
Email isn’t fast enough for real life.
A teacher calls out sick. You send an email. Eight families open it. Two students still show up. Families are busy. They have their phones with them all day, but they don’t always check their inbox. SMS reaches them where they actually are.
Mass text, instantly.
When something changes fast, you need to reach everyone before they leave the house. Opus1 SMS lets you filter by teacher, group class, or student type and send a batch message in seconds.
- Teacher out sick? Filter by teacher and text every family on their schedule.
- Group class change? Batch text the whole session roster at once.
- Last-minute anything? One send, everyone notified.
Real conversations, not one-way blasts.
Most texting tools give you a 5-digit shortcode. Families can’t reply, and you have no idea who saw what. Opus1 SMS gives your school a dedicated local phone number. Replies come back into your SMS dashboard so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Your own dedicated 10DLC business number, in your area code.
- Two-way conversations tracked inside Opus1. Full history, always in context.
- Mark conversations active or closed so your team stays organized.
Reminders that go out automatically.
Opus1 already sends email reminders for upcoming lessons. Add SMS and those same reminders go out as texts too, no extra setup. Families get a text when a lesson is coming up, when a teacher changes, and when anything on their schedule shifts.
- Lesson reminders sent automatically, by SMS and email.
- Instant notification when a teacher or time changes.
- Save your most-used messages as templates and send in seconds.
Other tools give you a shortcode. We give you a number.
A 5-digit code can only broadcast. A real number creates a conversation. Families can reply, ask questions, and confirm they got the message. Your team sees everything in one place.
