• SMS Terms and Conditions

    At Glen Ellyn School District 41, we understand the importance of timely and effective communication with our community. To meet this need, we offer two distinct SMS services designed to keep you informed and connected.

    Whether it's through our Mass Notification System using Short Code 67587 or more personalized 1:1 Text Messaging with a 10-Digit Long Code, our goal is to provide reliable and accessible communication channels.

    • Mass Notifications: Through our partnership with SchoolMessenger, a leader in educational communication systems, we use SMS to send you important updates, alerts, and information directly to your mobile device. This service ensures that you are always in the know, whether it's a school closure, emergency alert, or a district-wide announcement.
    • 1:1 Text Messaging: For interactions that require a more personal touch, we enable our staff to communicate directly with you via text messages from their designated district phone numbers. Whether responding to inquiries, confirming appointments, or providing tailored information about our services, our 1:1 text messaging ensures that your specific needs are addressed promptly and efficiently.

    Explore our SMS Terms and Conditions below to learn more about how these services work, how to manage your communication preferences, and how we protect your privacy.
