SchoolMessenger
In our effort to improve communication between parents and schools, Cesar Chávez Academy Middle School has implemented a telephone broadcast system that enables school personnel to notify all households and parents by phone within unplanned event that causes early dismissal, school cancellation or late start. The service may also be used from time-to-time to communicate general announcements or reminders.
When used, School Reach calls all telephone numbers in our selected parent contact lists and delivers a recorded message from a school administrator to a live answer or an answering machines. Tips to help you access the information on the SchoolMessenger System. 1. Caller ID-The caller ID will be the school telephone number is the notification is sent from the school and the district telephone number, 313-842-0006. 2. Live Answers-There is a short pause at the beginning of the message. When you say "hello", it activates the message. If you say "hello" multiple times, it will delay the message. 3. Answering Machines--the School Reach program will detect that your machine has answered and will play the recording to your answering machine. 4. Message Repeat--At the end of the message you will be prompted to press any key to hear the message again. Phone Texting Service
