New communication tool for TISD
It is important that our district quickly communicate
information to parents and guardians, especially
during an emergency. In response to this
critical need, Terrell ISD will launch additional
communication tools using our current student
information system. With this new solution,
Messenger,the
district will be able to distribute urgent messages,
as well as normal daily voicemail and email communications such
as attendance dialing, behavior incidents and other
district-specific notices. The new system,
Messenger, will
be active for the 2009-2010 school year.
Current, accurate student household information
will be critical to the success of this communication
tool. Please make sure your home phone, cell
phone, work phone, email address, and home address are
correct for each student in your household.
Contact the campus your student attends to make
changes or corrections.
Free Internet access to parent and student resources.
