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".
