SMS Text Notification Feature

SMS technology will strip any HTML code used within the message. Information sent via text messaging is not secure. Do not include any sensitive material. FCC regulations apply. Messages retrieved from the school portal are protected by USER passwords and Secure Socket Layer, to help ensure the privacy and integrity of information transmitted over the internet.
