How to receive information from our school and HRCE by text message

Do you want to receive information from our school and HRCE by text message?

We now have the ability to send information to you by text message. To ensure compliance with Canadian Anti-Spam laws, you must opt-in to receive information by text message.

If you have already opted in – that’s great! You don’t have to read further.

If you haven’t (and would like to), here’s what you need to do:

• If you did not receive the opt-in text message on November 16, please call your child’s school to update your contact information in PowerSchool. Any changes are uploaded nightly and reflected the following business day. When your number is added or changed in PowerSchool, you will automatically receive the opt-In message.

• If you decide you no longer wish to receive HRCE and school information via text, you can reply to the message with “STOP” or by clicking here.

• Parents/guardians can opt-in at any time by texting “Y” or “YES” to 978338. The mobile number MUST also be in PowerSchool.

• This text message function WILL include school cancellation notifications.

• This text message function will NOT share bus delay information.

Anyone who is NOT a parent/guardian in our system who wishes to receive school cancellations due to inclement weather must opt in via theHRCE website: www.hrce.ca/notifications . This includes staff, students and members of the community.
