Please note that only cell phone numbers connected to student/family accounts will be able to receive text messages from our schools or school district. If you are unsure if your cell phone number is included in your child’s registration contact information, please contact your school’s registrar. You can opt-out of receiving text messages anytime by texting “Stop” to 67587 or by visiting schoolmessenger.com/tm. Questions?
