When plans change, it's three steps from your phone

Closed for weather, early dismissal, a forgotten form. A sentence or two is enough.

From your program, not your personal phone
You could text families yourself. But then the messages live on one person's phone.
- Families see your program's name, not a staff member's personal number.
- Replies land in one inbox the whole team can see, this year and next.
- When staff change, the conversations don't leave with them.
- Routine updates like “running late” are visible to whoever runs the program.
Every new spreadsheet is a fresh start
New season or semester? Upload the new roster. Families who've left stop getting texts, and new families aren't missed. Preview every row before anything is saved.
Built for programs under 120 students
Bigger than that, you probably already have a platform. Smaller, you've probably been doing this by hand. Wagglepost is the fast, simple way to reach everyone, without an enterprise system.
