Setup SchoolMessenger Contact Manager Account - Families
Our school uses the SchoolMessenger Notification System to
provide timely communication to parents and staff members on matters such as
attendance, general interest activities and campus and district emergencies. In
order to enhance our ability to accurately deliver that information, we kindly
request that you create your own contact preference profile using
SchoolMessenger’s Contact Manager web site. Contact Manager allows you to
control the ways in which you prefer to be contacted. It also works like a
mailbox, giving you a place to review messages you may have missed.
In order to utilize this feature simply follow the steps below
to create an account through the secure Contact Manager web site provided by
SchoolMessenger. An illustrated set of directions is available in PDF
format here.
