CECSD Text Messaging Service

The district uses SchoolMessenger to send out emails, texts, and alerts to our families. With SchoolMessenger you can receive instant messages regarding important events, school closings, safety alerts and more. Follow the simple steps below to make sure you are currently signed up to receive SchoolMessenger emails and texts. 

This service is offered to anyone in Cortland for free. To participate, use your mobile phone to text “Y” or “Yes” to our school’s short code number, 67587. If you have decided that you do not want these alerts and messages at any time you can opt out by replying to a message with “Stop” and you will no longer receive anything on your phone.

If you are signed up for this service but get a new phone number, you do need to sign up for it again as the company does require us to get permission each time a new number is added to the service. 

SchoolMessenger is compliant with the Student Privacy Pledge, so you can rest assured that your information is safe and will never be given or sold to anyone.
