School Messenger Notification System

School Messenger Notification System
Posted on 06/15/2016

 
Hillsborough Township Public Schools is pleased to announce that as of July 1, 2014, the school district will be utilizing School Messenger, a parent notification system.  School Messenger will be used to automatically notify parents of emergencies, activities, and information pertinent to their students.  School Messenger will allow the district to extend our parent outreach effort while also allowing the messages that are sent home via the system to be more directed to each  family's needs and preferred communication methods.  School Messenger email alerts will look different from those you were previously receiving from the Honeywell Instant Alert system.  In addition, phone messages will no longer begin with, "This is a message from the Honeywell Alert System..."
 
School Messenger will be used for emergency broadcasts,  bus delays, district and school-wide events, etc.  The district will also continue to maintain its other methods of communication, including the Education Access Channel (channel 27), district and school websites, social media sites (including FacebookTwitter, and Youtube).  
 
School Messenger gives parents the option to include up to eight (8) parent/guardian emails and phone numbers to which messages may be sent. Parents can update their own emails and phone numbers via the Parent Portal  Please note that changes to contact information can take up to 48-hours to populate to School Messenger.
