Update Cellphone Information for Text Alerts
School Messenger, NFA’s automated notification system, syncs information with PowerSchool. If your Primary Household phone number is a cell phone that is SMS capable (text message), you automatically receive a request to enroll. If you accept, you will receive text messages when automated phone calls are made by the system. Your preferences will be saved from year to year as long as your Primary Household phone number remains the same.
If you did not opt into the program, you may do so at any time by following these steps:
- Send a text message to 675-87
- Type: Help
- Send the 'help' message.
- You will receive a response
- Type: Y for “Yes”
- Send the 'Y' message.
