SchoolMessenger is simply a state-of-the-art automated notification system which enables a school district to contact parents, staff and students in a timely manner.  It can easily send a voice and/or email and text messages to thousands of land line phones or cell phones in a matter of minutes.  A major reason the district chose to use SchoolMessenger is to contact parents in emergency situations when quick notification is critical.  Many districts now use this or a similar type of notification system.

SchoolMessenger will be used to send messages about weather closures, campus safety alerts, emergencies, etc. The school district administration can send critical messages to the entire district, a school or select groups.

Contact information was uploaded from our student information system. We have uploaded the following information: Home phone, cell phone and one email address (if applicable).
