SchoolMessenger Broadcast

St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute partners with SchoolMessenger, a California-based company that provides notification services for emergency broadcasts, parental outreach, and student attendance communications.

Please note:

This requires NO registration by the recipient on the SchoolMessenger website.
All information and contact numbers are secure and strictly confidential, and are only used for the purposes described herein.

How it works:

Caller ID: The Caller ID will display 716.874.4024 (St. Joe's main phone number).
Live Answers: There is a short pause at the beginning of the message, usually a few seconds.
- Answer your phone as you normally would - "hello" - and pause for the message to begin.
- Multiple "hellos" will delay the message.
- Inform all family members who may answer your phone of this process.
Answering Machines: The system will detect that your machine has answered and will play the recording to your machine.
Attendance: We will be using SchoolMessenger for daily attendance. You will be notified each day that your child missed a required number of classes.
- To minimize these calls, make sure you inform the school when you KNOW your child will be late or absent to school on a given day.
Text Messaging: If you want to participate in the free service, simply send a text message of "Y" or "Yes" to 67587.
- You can opt out of these messages the any time by simply replying to a message with "Stop".

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Laura Seiferth in the main office at 874.4024 ext. 104.
