We use School Messenger for a variety of school related communications.

• Emergency notifications
• Attendance notifications
• Special school events
• General information

School Messenger gets contact information from PowerSchool and it is updated nightly. Parent/Guardian contact information in PowerSchool can be viewed and/or updated as follows.

1. Log into your Parent Portal Account. If you have trouble accessing your account, contact your school secretary.
2. Click on Forms, located under the Navigation tab on the left.
3. Scroll down to and click on one of the following forms. All In One: All In One Form Demographics or Quick Update: Change or Update Emergency Contacts
4. Update and/or add contact information and click Submit.

All the contact information we have for School Messenger comes from the contacts in the blue cards on those forms. School Messenger can send email, voice, and SMS (text) messages.

SMS Text Messaging

To receive SMS text messages from BSD7 you must reply with Y to a message from the “short code” 67587 (like a phone number, but more secure). See schoolmessenger.com/txt for more information. The message should look similar to the following text.

Bozeman School Districts alerts. Reply Y 2 confirm, HELP 4 info. Msg&data rates may apply. Msg freq varies. schoolmessenger.com/txt

Email and voice messages should go through without opting-in and will come from the individual sending the message.

1. How do recipients “Opt-In” to receive text messages?

• Confirm the text device number(s) are in imported to Communicate.
• Text “Y” to 67587 from each wireless device they wish to receive texts on.

Note: Depending on the data synchronization configuration, it may take 24 hours or more for numbers to be updated from the district SIS database.

2. How do recipients opt-out of receiving text messages?

Recipients not wishing to receive text messages to a particular number can simply do one of the following:

• Don’t opt-in and don’t reply to the opt-in invitation message.
• Text “STOP” to 67587 (or whichever is correct for your account) at any time.
• Opt out online at http://schoolmessenger.com/txtmsg.

Bozeman School District has transitioned away from paper communication including permissions and enrollment and is now utilizing electronic tools in a variety of ways.
