SchoolMessenger Test Notification
Evening of Monday, November 4, 2019
In anticipation of the winter months ahead, we will be conducting a District-wide SchoolMessenger test on the evening of Monday, November 4, around 6:00 p.m.
SchoolMessenger is a web-based automated system and is one of the North Allegheny School District’s communication vehicles for the delivery of information to parents/guardians and staff via phone, email, and/or text. Messages may include attendance notifications, school delays or cancellations, information about a serious health-related issue, or a crisis response update.
SchoolMessenger imports information from Tyler SIS Student 360, including your cell, home, and work phone numbers, as well as the email address you use to log into Tyler. If you wish to add additional phone numbers into SchoolMessenger that are not listed in Tyler, or opt-in for text messages and emails, you will need to create a SchoolMessenger account. Accounts created during the 2018-19 school year are still active.
