Now it’s time to decide how you want to receive your messages about school news. Go to the blue bar at the top of the page, click the down arrow next to your name. Choose “Preferences.”
(Note: If the email you used to sign up is not on file with your child’s school, you will not see “Preferences.” Contact your child’s school to have it added and then come back here to finish choosing how you want to be communicated with.)
(Troubleshooting tip: If you don’t see “Preferences,” log out and log back in.)
There are two ways to set your preferences:
- “My contact information”: Click on each phone number or email address to decide how you want to receive messages from your school. You can also add more phone numbers or email addresses here. Just be sure they are also on file with your child’s school.
(Note: If in the last step, you chose to only receive emergency calls, you can change that here. Just click “change” next to the phone number at the top of the page. Then tell SchoolMessenger it’s OK to call you at this number.)
- “My message preferences”: Click on each category to decide whether you want calls or texts -- or both -- about a certain topic.
(Note: If you previously chose to receive emergency calls only for a phone number, but you would like to change that, go back to step one, “My contact information,” choose the phone number, and click “change” next to the phone number at the top of the page. Then tell SchoolMessenger it’s OK to call you at this number.)
You are all set. Come back at any time to change your message preferences!
