Edline.Alerts.TXTMsg

As an alternative for parents and students without regular email access, use a cell phone number as your email and receive text message alerts!

Parents and students who may not have regular access to an email address, but who do have a cell phone and text messaging plan (//text message fees may apply - check with your carrier//), can set the email address attached to their Edline account so that they receive text message instead of email alerts.

Please remember our school cell phone policy still applies for all students: "Off and Away" in classes, thank you!

**CAVEAT:** Teachers who send "email alerts" to an entire class through Edline should plan carefully--//including// the subject line, only the first 140 characters will reach the parents!
