SchoolMessenger Notification System
Keeping
parents informed and involved helps to assure student safety and
improve student success. As technology advances, we continue to update
the district's delivery methods for pertinent information in a timely
manner.
The
SchoolMessenger system will continue to deliver a single, clear message
to the students’ parents or guardians home phone, work phone, cell
phone, and email addresses. SchoolMessenger is also connected to the
Genesis Parent Access Portal, which means that students’ contact
information will be available to parents/guardians, teachers and
district staff in one secure, password-protected place.
Through the Genesis Parent Access Portal, you are able to:
- View student schedules, report cards, assignments and grades
- Monitor daily attendance records in "real time"
- Use links to initiate emails to teachers
- Update phone and email contacts for you and your child(ren)
In
order for the school to keep you informed, maintaining the accuracy of
your contact information is essential. Please log into the Genesis
Parent Access Portal and review/update this information as soon as
possible. All changes take approximately 48-hours to take effect.
You
are able to add up to eight (8) phone numbers and email addresses.
These contacts will provide the schools with multiple ways to reach you,
but please note that the notification system will pull multiple numbers
and emails from each guardian until it reaches eight (8). For example,
if guardian 1 has two home phones and four email address, they will all
be included. SchoolMessenger will then take every phone number/email
address from guardian 2, then guardian 3 and guardian 4 until reaching
the maximum of eight email address and 8 phone numbers.
To
update or limit which email addresses and phone numbers receive
non-emergency messages, please contact your school's main office. Please
note that these changes take approximately 48-hours to take effect.
