Text message updates

How ND Academy Parent Club text messages work, what they cover, and how to stop them at any time.

What you are agreeing to

By opting in, you agree to receive automated text messages from the Parent Club about membership, events, sign-ups, volunteering and student pickup, at the number you verified. Consent is not a condition of membership or of any purchase. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for help.

How to opt in

Opting in takes four steps, and the number is confirmed by a one-time code before it can ever receive a notification.

  1. Sign in to your account

    Text notifications are tied to your ND Academy Parent Club member account, so consent is always recorded against a known person rather than a bare phone number.

  2. Open Notifications and enter your mobile number

    We'll text a one-time verification code to confirm the number is yours. Standard message and data rates apply. Verifying a number does not sign you up for notifications — you choose those next.

  3. Confirm the 6-digit code we text you

    This proves the number is yours. Until the code is confirmed, the number is not usable for notifications.

  4. Switch on SMS and save your consent

    The disclosure at the top of this page is shown at that moment, next to the switch. Nothing is sent until you save this step — verifying a number on its own never opts you in.

What the opt-in screen looks like

This is the Notifications screen in a member’s account, where the number is verified and consent is given. The consent language below the toggle is the wording every member sees before opting in.

The ND Academy Parent Club Notifications screen: a verified mobile number, an SMS toggle that is switched off, a Save consent button, and the consent paragraph explaining what messages are sent, that consent is not a condition of membership, that message and data rates may apply, and that replying STOP unsubscribes.
The opt-in screen at /dashboard/notifications. Consent is off until the member turns it on and saves.

You’ll be asked to sign in first. No account yet? Create one.

How to stop messages

Reply STOP to any message from us. You’ll get one confirmation that you have been unsubscribed, and nothing after that. STOP works from your phone whether or not you can sign in.

Reply START to opt back in, or reply HELP for help. You can also switch SMS off, or remove your number entirely, on the Notifications screen in your account at any time.
