Communicate With Purpose and Proof

Running a gym, swim school, dance studio, cheer or ninja program means you’re communicating constantly. You’re answering questions, confirming details, sending updates, and guiding families every step of the way. Strong business communications aren’t optional for a children’s activity center, they’re essential. 


Texts, emails, push notifications, and automated messages all live within the same system as your classes, enrollments, billing, and families. Every conversation is connected. Every message has context. And every communication effort is trackable so you always know what was sent, who received it, and how families engage. 

Built-In Tracking for Every Message You Send

Communication isn’t just about sending messages. It’s about knowing they were delivered, understanding how families responded, and making sure your team stays aligned.


With iClassPro, every communication—manual or automated—is logged directly within the system.

2-Way Texting:
Real Conversations, Now Organized

Faster replies, fewer missed messages, and a professional SMS feature that supports real conversations at scale. 

Meet the NEW 2-Way Texting Inbox: a centralized hub designed for modern 2-way text communication that lives right inside your Office Portal and brings every text conversation into one clean, organized workspace. No personal phone usage required by your team members. No disconnected threads. No guessing who replied.

One complete conversation view:   See every text in a single, chronological thread so context is never lost. 

Track mass text replies:  Responses to broadcast messages flow right back into your 2-Way Texting Inbox, so when you send mass text or bulk SMS messages, nothing slips through the cracks.

Team alignment built in:  Mark conversations open or closed so staff knows what’s handled and what still needs attention.

Smarter family visibility:  Shared phone numbers across multiple family profiles are clearly connected, giving you the full picture.

Communication history you can trust:  Keep a full record of conversations while honoring opt-out preferences automatically.

You’ll find the 2-Way Texting Inbox exactly where you need it: in the Family and Staff Communication Logs, and the NEW Messenger page, accessible using the new Inbox icon within the taskbar in your Office Portal. Your team always has the context to respond faster, smarter, and with confidence.

SMS delivery depends on carrier rules and device settings. Some messages, including those with links, may be filtered, blocked, or not delivered.

Push Notifications:
Instant Alerts That Get Noticed 

In a world where parents are constantly on the go, timing matters. Push notifications give you a reliable way to deliver short, urgent updates directly to guardians’ phones, right when they need to see them. 


Push notifications go straight to the iClassPro Mobile App (or Branded Mobile App) on a family’s device. This means your message doesn’t get buried in an inbox or lost in threads — it’s seen instantly.


Push notifications are perfect for quick, high-impact updates that demand attention, like weather alerts, schedule changes, or urgent reminders. And because each device receives one notification (even if it represents multiple students or enrollments), you stay respectful of families’ attention while ensuring communication is clear.
