SchoolMessenger Communicate

ACPS uses a mass communication notification system called SchoolMessenger which is fully integrated with the Parent Portal in PowerSchool.  Parents and Guardians need to log into the Parent Portal to update contact information and set preferences for how you would like to be contacted in situations such as weather closings or for other notifications.  Please contact your child’s school if you need to update phone numbers and/or addresses.

To access the Parent Portal, please use the link under “Popular Links” above or the link on the website’s main page under the picture gallery.  If you do not have a Parent Portal account, please contact your child's school(s) to obtain your PowerSchool Parent Portal login credentials.

SMS Text Messaging Requirements

SchoolMessenger requires an OPT-IN for each phone number that will receive text messages. You can opt-in ahead of time (see below) or wait for the opt-in text message once we enable the texting function. There are only two requirements for a recipient to receive messages from ACPS via SMS text:

  • an opt-in confirmation receipt sent from the recipient's wireless device, and
  • the recipient's wireless number imported into your SchoolMessenger account. Your wireless number should be automatically imported to your SchoolMessenger account once we enable the texting function.

 

Opt-in Device Confirmation

Each mobile device number(s) that recipients wish to receive text messages on must be opted into the SchoolMessenger service. Simply text Yes or Y to 67587, the SchoolMessenger short code.
