Message flow

End users opt in after signing in to bachpto.org as approved Bach Elementary PTO family, staff, or volunteer users. There are two signed-in opt-in paths. First, the site may show an SMS updates prompt after login; the user must actively check the SMS consent box and select Yes, sign me up. Second, the user may open their directory profile, enter or confirm their mobile phone number, actively check the SMS messages consent box, and save changes. Consent checkboxes are not pre-selected. Both paths explain that messages may include timely PTO announcements, classroom updates, event reminders, volunteer coordination, and administrative follow-up. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help and STOP to cancel. Terms: https://bachpto.org/sms-terms. Privacy Policy: https://bachpto.org/privacy. This page documents both signed-in opt-in paths because the actual controls are only available after login and account approval: https://bachpto.org/sms-opt-in
