What is the SchoolMessenger app?
SchoolMessenger allows you to personalize communications from your school or district. After logging in, you will be able to:
- See your related SchoolMessenger Contacts across schools and districts.
- View the last 30 days of SchoolMessenger messages.
- Change your SchoolMessenger communication preferences.
- Opt-into Push notifications (mobile only). Where enabled by your school or district, you may also be able to:
- Update your SchoolMessenger contact information - add phone numbers, emails, and SMS text message numbers.
- Chat with teachers via Teacher Messaging.
How do I sign up for SchoolMessenger?
You can create an account using the main email address your school or district has on file for you. Just follow these three steps:
1. Click “Sign up” at the top of the page, or download the SchoolMessenger App from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
2. Enter your email address and create a password. You’ll need to verify that email before proceeding.
3. After authenticating via your email, return to SchoolMessenger and sign in using the email and password you just verified.
What should I expect after logging into SchoolMessenger?
After successfully logging in with a verified email, you should expect to see any messages that you’ve recently received for any contacts, student, staff, and/or guardian records, associated with your account email address. You can navigate through your district-enabled options by using the site navigation menu.
Are the web app features the same as the mobile app?
Yes. For those who prefer to use a website instead of a mobile app (or who don’t have easy access to a smartphone), the SchoolMessenger app’s functions will be available online at https://go.schoolmessenger.com. An account for the web app is recognized on the mobile apps, and vice versa.
How does my student’s teacher connect to me through the app?
Your school will automatically connect your app account to teacher accounts and other contacts using district data. Your school may use this data to build groups you’re automatically a participant of. If this is the case, you will see these groups when you log in. Or, a teacher may distribute a group code, which you can use to manually access a teacher-created group.
