Why didn't my text send?

Check that the contact has a valid mobile number and isn't marked Do not contact. Your school also needs an active texting number. See our article on managing phone numbers and call settings.

How do I text several contacts at once?

See Send Bulk Messages and Updates.

How do I save a message to reuse?

Create a template. See our article on creating message templates.
