Opting in to text messaging

If your student's school has enabled text messaging, students must opt in to receive and send text messages.

When your student logs in to the Imagine Learning Virtual Portal (ILVP), the Text Messaging (SMS) Communications Settings page displays. After a student has updated the text messaging preferences once, the page will not display again. 

Frequently asked questions
