The Portland Public Schools uses the SchoolMessenger system (SMS) to deliver important information about events, school closings, safety alerts and more via phone calls and emails. It also can send text messages straight to your mobile phone with that type of important information, including the Daily Symptom Check for school attendance purposes. However, you must “opt in” to get text messages.
