SchoolMessenger Notification Services
We would like to announce SchoolMessenger, our new parent notification system
that provides notification services for parental outreach, emergency broadcasts,
student attendance alerts and other communications for our schools. You will be
receiving periodic communications from your child's school by telephone and
email.
The system is able to automatically call parents for a variety of reasons that
impact the safety and academic performance of students. SchoolMessenger will be
used to complement the district’s community outreach efforts and emergency
preparedness procedures, and to inform parents of upcoming school events such as
statewide testing and parent meetings. As a comprehensive communication tool,
SchoolMessenger will contribute to the district’s involvement initiatives,
allowing the district to engage the broader educational community about a wide
range of topics affecting students’ academic success.
SchoolMessenger will not replace current modes of school communication.
Principals will still be accessible for live visits and we will still send home
paper-based memoranda. Acquisition of the SchoolMessenger system is intended to
reinforce the district’s commitment to remain personally connected to parents.
SchoolMessenger notification services (http://www.schoolmessenger.com)
are provided by Reliance Communications of Santa Cruz, California, serving
thousands of schools, districts, colleges and universities with timely alerts
since 1999.
Please contact your child's school if you have any questions or concerns
regarding the use of SchoolMessenger.
