School Messenger Message

I copied this letter from Mrs. Erickson to send home this week. I included it in the blog as well. Happy last week of school!



Dear Parent(s),

We will be implementing a different school notification and reporting system called SchoolMessenger.  This system is loaded with features that will make it easier for us to communicate with all families.  It will be possible for teachers to communicate with the parents of their students. It can also allow a coach to communicate with parents or students involved in a particular sport. To guarantee the messaging system is used efficiently, we will need to confirm that the contact information we have for you is accurate and up-to-date at all times.

SchoolMessenger allows our school to send messages using email, voice, and text messaging.  Voice calls will be sent with 608-943-6311 as the caller ID number, text messages will be sent using a caller ID 68453. Please note you will not be able to reply to text messages sent from the school. 

You must OPT-in to receive text alerts from the Iowa-Grant School District. On Monday, June 1 at 10:00AM, you will receive a text message asking you to reply with a Y or Yes.  If you do not reply, you will not receive any text messages from the Iowa-Grant School District.  Tolls and charges associated with receipt of messages from the school are your responsibility and not the responsibility of the school.  If you miss the text message or accidentally delete the text message, you may send a YES text message to 68453 to opt yourself into the messaging system. However, this will only work if the District already has your cell phone information in our Power School system.

If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Dirks atdirks@igs.k12.wi.us or 608-943-6311, Ext 3010.

Sincerely,

Linda Erickson, Superintendent
