SchoolMessenger is a comprehensive communication system used by the North Vancouver School District to communicate with parents. The system is used to send emails, text messages and phone calls to parents. At the secondary school level, it is also used to make daily attendance phone calls for missed classes. Emergency notifications, such as a school closure, are broadcast to parents through SchoolMessenger.
The system also offers an app to parents that they can voluntarily download to their mobile devices to receive messages on their cell phones. Here are instructions on how to download and configure the app on your mobile device, as well as how to access the platform on a computer:

"North Vancouver School District 44 messages. Reply Y to confirm, HELP 4 info. Msg & data rates may apply. Msg freq varies. schoolmessenger.com/tm"
Parents can also opt in anytime by texting "Y" or "Yes" to 978338.
