SchoolMessenger alternative
A SchoolMessenger alternative built around two-way texting
If you're reviewing your school notification system, IntelCue is a standalone option: families get texts they can reply to, staff answer from a shared inbox, and contacts can sync from PowerSchool.
What IntelCue gives you
- Two-way SMS — parents reply by regular text, no app to install
- Mass text and voice notifications to schools, grades, or custom groups
- PowerSchool roster sync for students and guardian contacts (add-on)
- Email announcements with unsubscribe handling (add-on)
- STOP opt-outs honored automatically
- Workspace-wide message log administrators can export
Questions to ask before you renew
- Can parents reply to our texts, and who on staff sees those replies?
- Is two-way messaging included or priced separately?
- Can we keep our SIS and switch only the messaging tool?
- Can we export a record of every message for public-records requests?
