Dear Milford Parent/Guardian:
Our school district uses the SchoolMessenger Notification System to provide timely communication to parents and staff members regarding attendance, general interest activities, weekly newsletters, weather-related announcements, and school or district emergencies. SchoolMessenger pulls in contact information daily from DASL, our student data management system. Any changes to your email or phone numbers should always be reported to the school(s) your child(ren) attend so it can be updated in DASL.
There is a feature in SchoolMessenger that allows parents to create their own contact preference profile using SchoolMessenger’s Contact Manager web site. Contact Manager allows you to control the ways in which you prefer to be contacted. It also works like a mailbox, giving you a place to review messages you may have missed. For example, if you only want your cell to ring or a text at 5 a.m. on a snow day, you can change this preference through Contact Manager.
In order to use this feature, follow the steps below to create an account through the secure Contact Manager web site provided by SchoolMessenger.
Steps for setting up your account:
