Texts get read; the email blast doesn’t
Announce the bake sale, the spirit night, the concession shift. Families reply privately to the board, not to each other.
PTA & Booster Club Texting
Text Messaging for PTAs and Booster Clubs
Reach every family for fundraisers, volunteer sign-ups, and meeting reminders with one text. No app, no reply-all, and a number that outlives this year’s board.
Members recognize the sender
A dedicated group number makes a text feel official without exposing a leader personal cell phone.
Replies stay useful
RSVPs, questions, and service responses route privately to leaders instead of buzzing the whole group.
Costs are visible
Leaders can review message cost, recipients, and channel behavior before a send goes out.
Why it matters
Built for member care, not marketing blasts
Reaching the people you serve is personal. The tool should help leaders coordinate without turning announcements, requests, and replies into another noisy channel.
A number that stays with the PTA
Boards turn over every year. The PTA’s number and its contact list stay with the organization, not with whoever was president.
Committees as groups
Fundraising, hospitality, concessions: each committee gets its own group. One $7 fee for the whole PTA.
Opt-in and opt-out built in
Families join by texting a keyword or accepting an invite, and can reply STOP at any time to opt out. Opt-ins and opt-outs are recorded, so your list stays clean and your texting stays respectful and compliant.
Prepaid pricing
Prepaid, no contracts. A $7 monthly platform fee covers your whole organization no matter how many groups, plus a small monthly fee per dedicated number and low per-message rates. Add credits, spend as you send, and always see what’s left.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Do families need an app?
- No. Families receive normal text messages on any phone — there is no app to download and nothing to log into. Only board members use the Connect Saints web app to send and manage messages.
- What happens when the board changes?
- Nothing moves. The PTA’s dedicated number, its contact list, and its groups belong to the organization, not to an individual. Outgoing board members are removed as leaders and incoming ones are added — families never see a new number.
- Can we have separate lists per grade or committee?
- Yes. Each grade, committee, or team is its own group — fundraising, hospitality, concessions, fifth-grade families — so you can send to one, several, or everyone.
- What does it cost?
- Prepaid, no contracts. A $7 monthly platform fee covers your whole organization no matter how many groups, plus a small monthly fee per dedicated number and low per-message rates. Add credits, spend as you send, and always see what’s left.
