The Coal City School District has switched over to the SchoolMessenger notification service to send important information to staff, students and families through phone calls, emails, and text messages. An email was sent out to district families on Sept. 5 notifying of the change.
To comply with wireless carrier requirements and protect against unsolicited text messages, you may receive a text message on the wireless cell phone number which the district has on file, requesting that you "opt-in" to receive important information from the district via our SMS text messaging service.
The message you receive will read similar to the following:
"Coal City CUSD #1 messages. Reply Y to subscribe or STOP to cancel. Msg&data rates may apply. Msg freq varies. Visit schoolmessenger.com/txt for info"
So that you may continue to receive these important messages, we encourage you to reply with "Y" or "Yes" when you receive such a verification message. You may also reply with "N" or "No" if you choose to opt out, you will not receive any further text messages from our schools including emergency notifications.
If you opt-in, but later decide to opt-out, simply 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. Our organization does not reimburse for any charges associated with sending or receiving text messages.
