I have a form that I give parents when they enroll for when the time comes they no longer need care they can just sign and date and return to me.
In your case, I'd accept the text as the notification, but also have them sign a termination letter to keep on file which would be effective from the date they sent the text.
Can you share a sample of what you give??
