speaking from the parent lens...
My own children's teachers use Remind and I really like it. All three of my kids are in elementary level of school, but Remind is a great tool. Again, from the parent lens, it is great. 

As a teacher, 

I've used Remind with students a few years ago, and again, I feel that it worked really well. 

However, I have moved toward slack. I like that much better.

I can second Bloomz... We have some individual teachers using it and I've only heard positive things. I know they have a school option but I haven't seriously looked into it.

Check out bloomz.  There might be a school or district option which allows for archiving and monitoring conversations.

We don't do this, but have you thought about google voice?

GV doesn't seem to be included directly in Vault, but if the forward to email is turned on, it would arrive in the employee's inbox.

And as long as the teacher responds from gmail (not from GV) both sides of the conversation would be in Vault.

However since I use GV personally, I know that on occasion sometimes messages get lost in the ether.


We ask coaches to use email only or email to sms-gateway, which works but requires some experience with getting addresses correct.


Since you are already probably using Vault the bonus is that the reporting end of it would stay the same, but I know both of these options aren't exactly what you are looking for.
