Maria Kaupas Academy (MKA) SMS Alerts

Operated by Molality Cloud Solutions LLC on behalf of Maria Kaupas Academy.

About This Program

Maria Kaupas Academy offers SMS text alerts to help parents, guardians, and faculty stay informed about important school-related information.

Messages from this program are identified as MKA Alerts, the abbreviation for Maria Kaupas Academy Alerts.

Messages sent through this program are informational only and may include:

  • Weather and school closure alerts
  • Emergency notifications
  • Event reminders and general school updates

No marketing or promotional messages are sent through this program.

No personal information is ever sent through this program. Messages contain school-wide announcements only. We never send student names, student ID numbers, grades, attendance or disciplinary records, health information, schedules, addresses, or any other personally identifiable information about a student, parent, guardian, or staff member. If a message would need to include personal details, the school will contact you by phone or email instead.

How to Enroll: Double Opt-In

This program uses a double opt-in. Text JOIN to (570) 565-0550, then reply YES. You are not subscribed, and no alerts are sent, until you complete both steps below.

Step 1 — Text the keyword. From the mobile number you want enrolled, text the keyword JOIN to (570) 565-0550.

Step 2 — Confirm your enrollment. You will receive a one-time confirmation request from (570) 565-0550:

MKA Alerts (Maria Kaupas Academy): Reply YES to confirm school text alerts. Up to 20 msgs/mo. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel.

Only users who reply YES are subscribed. After you reply YES, you will receive:

MKA Alerts: You are now subscribed to school text alerts. Up to 20 msgs/mo. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel.

If you do not reply YES, your number is not added to the program and you will not receive alerts.

By replying YES, you provide your express written consent to receive automated, informational SMS alerts from Molality Cloud Solutions LLC on behalf of Maria Kaupas Academy at the mobile number you enrolled.

Consent is voluntary. Consent is not a condition of any purchase, and is not required to enroll at, receive services from, or participate in any program of Maria Kaupas Academy. Alternative notification methods are available through the school office.

You must be 18 years or older to enroll a mobile number in this program.

Double opt-in text message flow: user texts JOIN to (570) 565-0550, receives confirmation request, replies YES, then receives subscription confirmation

Sample Messages

Message Frequency & Rates

This program sends up to 20 messages per month. Actual volume varies by use case and is usually well below that limit; the cap applies in all cases, including emergency and weather-related alerts.

Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

How to Opt Out

To stop receiving messages at any time, reply STOP to any message from this program. You will receive a single confirmation message, and no further alerts will be sent:

MKA Alerts: You have been unsubscribed and will receive no further messages. Reply START to re-subscribe.

How to Re-Enroll

If you previously unsubscribed and want to receive alerts again, reply START (not JOIN) to the alert number, (570) 565-0550.

Replying STOP blocks all further messages from this program to your number. START is the keyword that lifts that block — JOIN will not work while the block is in place. If you had previously completed enrollment, replying START re-subscribes you immediately and you will receive a confirmation message:

MKA Alerts: You are re-subscribed to school text alerts. Up to 20 msgs/mo. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel.

If you never completed the double opt-in, text JOIN after replying START and follow the enrollment steps above.

How to Get Help

Reply HELP to any message from this program for support information:
