ParentPowered Text Messages
Through a special partnership with our district, families with children Pre-K through 4th grade will have free access to ParentPowered, a research-based text messaging program that provides simple, engaging tips for families to help their students continue learning at home.
Families with students in Pre-K will automatically be enrolled in this service based on information provided through Skyward.
Our goal is to help parents have easy ways to ensure students are continuing to learn, no matter where they are. With ParentPowered, you can bridge the gap between the classroom and the home.
We are excited that our families will have access to this free, in-home learning resource. Since our district has signed up for this service, you will begin receiving text messages three times a week. If you would prefer not to receive these text messages, you can choose to unsubscribe at any time by texting STOP to 70138.
