How it works
Every message, photo and video is checked before it arrives. Most go through in about a second. The rare risky one never reaches the student.
You send it
Text, a photo or a video, to a teacher, a coach or your group. Mark it urgent when it can’t wait.
It’s checked first
AI reviews every message, photo and video before anyone sees it. Edits are checked again.
Delivered, or held
Everyday messages land in seconds and show “Seen.” A risky one is held: the student never gets it, and safety staff decide what happens.
Features
Built for the moments email can’t handle.
Stand out when it can’t wait
Missed the bus after an away game? Mark it urgent and it stands out on your teacher’s phone, instead of sitting in an inbox for hours.
- Gold urgent marker on both phones
- Checked for safety like everything else
Every student, accounted for
One chat for the team and its chaperones, with the plan pinned and a live check-in for every student.
- See who’s on the bus at a glance
- Works for clubs, retreats and field trips
Know it landed
“Seen” tells you your message was read. No more wondering whether to send it again, or whether it’s stuck in a spam folder.
- Read receipts on every chat
- Group chats for classes, clubs and study groups
Reply hours, not midnight pings
Teachers show when they usually reply, so students know when to expect an answer and teachers keep their evenings.
- Shown right under the teacher’s name
- Urgent messages still stand out

Saint Ignatius student, WolfLink survey
Source: WolfLink student survey, Saint Ignatius College Prep, September 28, 2026 (28 responses). Written answers were grouped by theme. Results are shown only in groups, never by individual.
Safety
Built into the database, not added on. Schools limit student–teacher contact for good reasons, and WolfLink is designed around them, so it’s safer than the personal texting that happens when email is too slow.
School emails only
Only @students.ignatius.org and @ignatius.org addresses can sign up, confirmed with a code sent to that inbox.
Checked before delivery
AI reviews every message, photo and video before anyone sees it. Serious ones are held, files included.
Flags stay with staff
Only school safety staff see what was flagged and why. Students and teachers never see flag data.
Nothing disappears
Messages can’t be deleted. “Delete chat” only clears your own list, and staff keep every conversation.
Edits are checked again
An edited message goes through the safety check again, and staff can see the original.
No private numbers
Nobody sees anyone’s phone number, and nobody can add people to a chat after it starts.

FAQ
Who can use WolfLink?
Students and teachers with a Saint Ignatius email address (@students.ignatius.org or @ignatius.org). Everyone confirms their address with a code before their account opens.
Does it replace email?
It replaces email for the quick, time-sensitive things: a question before a test, a change of plans, a missed bus. Long messages and formal notices can stay in email.
Can teachers and students text each other privately?
They can message inside WolfLink, where every message is checked and kept. Phone numbers are never shared, and school safety staff can review any conversation.
What happens to a flagged message?
Low-level flags go to safety staff for review. Serious ones are held, so the recipient never receives them, and staff decide what happens next. Students and teachers never see flag information.
What devices does it work on?
iPhone, iPad, Android and computers, right in the browser. On a phone, add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Who pays for it?
Schools, not students or teachers. If you work at a school and want to talk about a pilot, join the waitlist and choose “School leader.”
