TEXT - If you have a cell phone number and cell phone provider listed in your parent form and would like to receive auto-notifications by text, check the text box. (If the text option does not appear, then see below.)
BOTH - You may check both options, if prior set-up is completed.
Step 5: After you have check marked your selections, make sure to go below your parent form and click the yellow 'Save Changes' button.

NOTE: If your school has not allowed the use of SMS Text notifications, then you will not see an option for ‘text’. Please contact your school administrators to discuss the allowing of this feature.
NOTE: If you have not completed your parent data information with an e-mail address, a cell phone number and a cell phone provider, then your screen may resemble the example below. You will need to provide this necessary information in your parent data form before you will be allowed to permission auto-notifications.
