A music teacher at a private school lacks a way to send mass messages to parents without manually entering each phone number and texting individually, and wants a solution that doesn't require parents to download an app.

Existing tools like ClassDojo or Remind may require parents to download an app, which creates a barrier; the teacher wants a simpler, app-free mass communication method that works with standard SMS.
