BrightArrow – System for School Messaging (robocalls)

TEXT MESSAGES FOR WEATHER ALERTS AND OTHER SCHOOL MESSAGES 

The BrightArrow system allows school personnel to send parents text messages. Once a phone number is opted-in, all text messages will come from the Short Code 79041. The initial message asking you to opt-in will be coming from a phone number in the format with 424-###-####, so please be aware that those text messages are coming from your school. The school may announce with an email when they are sending the opt-in message. Simply reply YES to the message asking you to opt-in and your phone number will receive future text messages. You may also at any time opt-in to text messages from your school by sending YES to the short code 79041. You must have your phone number on file with the school to receive text messages, this is an opt-in mechanism, not a subscribe mechanism. Once you opt-in, BrightArrow will send you a confirmation that your phone number is opted-in. Sometimes a message will arrive in all three forms (email, text, voice). To edit which contacts receive messages, use the Forms tab on the Parent portal and under Form F, use the “Enable Robocalls” checkbox. Or, call the school office and they can assist.
