Text Yes! to 68453
SchoolMessenger now has the ability to send SMS text messages as options for families and staff. Text messaging can be an effective and timely way to get short, important messages to mobile devices, especially during emergencies.
Mineral Wells ISD is excited to announce the launch of a new service that will enhance communication by allowing us to deliver important information to you via SMS text messaging. This service is not intended to replace our existing means of communication– rather it will enhance them. The service is provided by SchoolMessenger.

Information can be found at www.SchoolMessenger.com/tm. The district will only use the service to provide information that is timely and relevant. In order to participate in the new service you must indicate your willingness to receive text messages to your phone.

The process is simple and only takes a few seconds to complete. Users simply opt-in by texting the word “YES” to the number 68453 from a cell phone. You will know you were successful if you receive the following reply message:

You are registered to receive aprox 3 msgs/mo. Txt STOP to quit, HELP for help

You will want to repeat the opt-in process for any wireless numbers that you wish to include. In addition to performing the opt-in process above you’ll want to insure that the district has your wireless number(s) in our student information database. If you haven’t already provided that information to your school please contact them and provide them with that information.

Please note, although the district does not charge you for this service, it does not pay for text message charges that may be incurred by you for sending or receiving text messages. Check with your wireless carrier for possible charges. If you have any questions please feel free to contact your child’s school.
