This winter, he’s setting his sights on improving his bowling game. Michael is also a proud uncle to two nephews and three nieces, always showing up to support their games and events.

He’s a big fan of March Madness, college football, and never turns down a bacon cheeseburger with a chocolate milkshake.

Dear Families,
Soon, many of the ParentSquare text messages you get from our school will come from regular 10-digit phone numbers. This will make it easier to see who is messaging you. For example, a message from your child’s teacher will come from a different phone number than a message from the school office.

What’s changing?
Right now, most texts come from a 5-digit number. Soon, you’ll start getting texts from different regular 10-digit phone numbers for:

  • Direct messages

  • Classroom and group posts

  • School posts

Messages from the district, digests and alerts will still come from the 5-digit number.

What should you do?
When you receive a message from one of these new 10-digit numbers, save it to your contacts. Here are some suggestions:

  • Save a teacher’s number as: Ms. Davis - 4th Grade

  • Save classroom/group posts as: Lincoln Elementary Classes

  • Save school posts number as: Lincoln Elementary Updates

Read more about this change and some helpful tips at this link: Changes to ParentSquare Text Messages.
