(A \u00ab\u00a0*\u00a0\u00bb is automatically added to the note tabs when this happens, so you can tell where this note came from.)<\/li>\n<li>We&rsquo;ve added \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Student Names<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb as an optional column on the Invoices tab of the \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Families &amp; Invoices<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb page.<\/li>\n<li>If students (or parents) reply \u00ab\u00a0<strong>STOP<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb to an SMS\/Text lesson reminder, we&rsquo;ll automatically disable SMS reminders in their profile. (To resume SMS reminders, your students must reply \u00ab\u00a0<strong>UNSTOP<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb and turn SMS reminders back on in their profile.)<\/li>\n<li>We updated the SMS template editor so that if you insert a placeholder (e.g. %StudentFirstName%) from the placeholder drop down, it gets inserted at your cursor (instead of at the end of the message).<\/li>\n<li>We tweaked the invoice layouts slightly to eliminate a blank last page that would sometimes happen.<\/li>\n<li>We updated the sign-up widget so that if you had a multi-teacher student, but switched back to a single teacher, you are automatically assigned as the teacher to that new student.<\/li>\n<li>SMS Reminders are now sent using Unicode, so they should display correctly no matter what language you use.<\/li>\n<li>If you move a lesson or event on the calendar, the SMS reminder will be resent with the new lesson time.<\/li>\n<li>For multi-teacher studios, we&rsquo;ve added \u00ab\u00a0<strong>Phone Number<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb to the list of optional columns on the Teachers &amp; Administrators page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note: Our office will be closed next Monday for Labour Day, so there will be no regularly scheduled update next Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have a great week!<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The My Music Staff Team<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Did you know? <\/strong>You can take attendance for a\u00a0whole day without having to select each individual lesson\/event.
