New Richmond Exempted
Village School District
For Immediate Release:
January 27, 2021
Dear New Richmond Schools Families,
As you may know, the district uses SchoolMessenger notification service to send important information to our families and staff members through phone calls and emails.
On February 1, we will relaunch our text messaging service. Over the next few days, we will be encouraging all of you to register to participate. In order to receive text messages, families and staff members MUST have a cell phone number on file with the district and “opt-in” in one of several ways.
Sending a text message any time of “Y” or “Yes” to our school’s short code number - 67587
Responding “Y” or “Yes” to a one-time opt-in text message that will be sent on Feb 1
Scan the QR code on the attached form and respond to a message with a “Y” or “Yes (School Messenger Parent Opt In letter (1).pdf).
In order for the district to be in compliance with wireless carrier requirements and to protect against unsolicited text messages, it’s necessary to ask families and staff members to “opt-in” to receive our messages.
The above mentioned February 1 “opt-in” message you receive will come from our 'short-code', 67587, and read similar to the following:
"New Richmond EVSD messages. Reply Y to subscribe or STOP to cancel. Msg&data rates may apply. Msg freq varies. Visit schoolmessenger.com/txt for info."
To opt-out of all text messages from SchoolMessenger, visit http://www.schoolmessenger.com/txtmsg/ or reply with "STOP" to the opt-in message that you receive. If you opt-in, but later decide to opt-out, simply send "STOP" to 67587. You may also reply "STOP" to any message from our organization.
Please check with your wireless carrier for information about your mobile service plan and any possible charges related to text messaging. New Richmond EVSD does not reimburse for any charges associated with sending or receiving text messages.
If you have questions, please contact me directly at [email protected] or call (513) 553-2616 ext 12221.
Sincerely,
Matthew Prichard
Director of Technology
