This guide explains how to choose the types of messages you want to receive — such as Weather Alerts, General Announcements, and Attendance Notifications — and how you would like to receive them (email, phone call, or text message) in SchoolMessenger through the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
Log into the PowerSchool Parent Portal and look for the left side menu. Click on theSchoolMessenger icon.
Once in SchoolMessenger, locate the upper-right corner of the screen. You will see your initials (or your name). Click on your initials to access the options menu.
From the drop-down menu that appears, click on the Preferences option.
4. Review your contact information under the My Contact Information header.
Note: If you need to add or remove any email addresses or phone numbers, you must contact your child's school directly, as this information cannot be changed in the portal.
5. Under the My Message Preferences header, you can now customize your message settings.
Click on the tile for the message type you want to update (e.g., Weather, General, Attendance)
For the message type you selected, you will see all your active phone numbers and email addresses. Click on the toggle switches next to each contact method to turn the notifications ON or OFF for that specific message type.
