School Communications via School Messenger

Cabrillo Unified School District utilizes SchoolMessenger for parental outreach, emergency broadcasts, and student attendance communications. Now parents can receive phone calls, text alerts, and emails about a range of important issues affecting their students’ safety and academic performance.

SchoolMessenger will be used to complement the district’s existing emergency preparedness procedures and to inform parents of upcoming school events, such as statewide testing and parent meetings. The alert service from SchoolMessenger is proven to measurably impact student safety, parental involvement, and staff communications.

Please make sure the school has all updated phone numbers and email.

We encourage all to participate in this free service* by sending a text message of “Yes” to our school’s short code number, 67587.

To opt-out of all text messages from SchoolMessenger, reply with STOP to the opt-in message.

*Please note, although the school 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.
