Opting-In for Text Messaging for SchoolMessenger
There are two ways to opt-in to receive messages via SMS text:
(Holy Trinity families please use option 2)
1. When you first sign into the SchoolMessenger App, you will receive a prompt for any phone numbers at which you have not already provided SchoolMessenger consent to receive voice calls. Select “Yes” or “No” as your preference. Your preference will be saved for each of your phone numbers. Consent preferences can be changed at any time through the SchoolMessenger App
2. You may opt-in by sending “Y” or “Yes” via text message to our SchoolMessenger Short Code number: 67587 from any device currently in our system. If you want to receive texts on multiple devices, each device number must complete the Opt-In process.
SchoolMessenger does not charge recipients for the text messages that they receive or send; however, wireless providers may charge for individual text messages, depending on the plan associated with the wireless device. Please consult your carrier if you are uncertain.
