Opt-In to Receive Text Messages from the ICSD

Greetings ICSD Parents and Caregivers,

We hope this message finds you well! We are reaching out because we want to enhance our communication through text messaging. SchoolMessenger has the ability to send text messages about events, school closings, safety alerts, and more to your mobile device.

To participate in this service, please follow these three simple steps to ensure that you’re set up:

1. Verify that your wireless phone number is on file and listed as the first number in SchoolTool. To make changes--
   • contact your child's school secretary
     OR
   • click on the 'request contact changes' icon and submit your request directly in the Parent Portal (see screenshot below - click to enlarge).

     

2. Confirm that the 'receives mail' icon appears to the right of your contact information (see screenshot below - click to enlarge). Without this icon, you will not be able to receive our text messages. If you do not have the icon--
   • contact your child's school secretary
     OR
   • click on the 'request contact changes' icon and submit your request directly in the Parent Portal.

     

3. Opt-in to receive text messages at any time from your wireless device by texting “Y” or “Yes” to the district’s short code number, 67587, or by scanning the QR code on this flyer.

Parents and caregivers who do not actively opt-in will not receive any texts from the district.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us or your school secretary with any questions. Additional information about parent/caregiver communications can be found on our website.

Sincerely,
ICSD Communications
