Sometimes your best-laid plans just don’t go quite like you’d hoped! When we discovered that some of you hadn’t received the initial opt-in message from SchoolMessenger, we were confident that meant that phone numbers weren’t entered into Employee Online or cell carriers were being blocked. Upon further investigation, we learned that there were some glitches in the way our data was being exported from Employee Online. Thanks to our Information Systems staff, who was able to identify the issues and work quickly to resolve them.
A new opt-in message will be sent to those who didn't receive the initial message on Dec. 6 from the short code 67587. To opt-in, just reply “Y” or “Yes” to the message. You can also opt out of these messages at any time by simply replying to one of our messages with “Stop.” You must reply “Y” or “Yes” to the initial opt-in message, or you will not receive text message broadcasts that are sent out in the event of an office closing.
We will test the system later this week, and let you know via email when the test will take place.
Thank you for your patience as we’ve worked through the process of getting everyone signed up for our new SchoolMessenger text messaging system. If you have any questions, contact Courtney Croatt, Communications Specialist, at or ext. 14474.
