SchoolMessenger System
AVRCE and our schools use SchoolMessenger to share information with parents/guardians by email and text. We also use the BusPlanner Parent Portal to send transportation notices by email and text.
In general, we send time-sensitive information by text and email; we send information that is not time-sensitive by email only. Our messaging systems will automatically send emails to the address you provide to your child’s school. In order to receive text message notices, you must “opt in” if you haven’t already done so.
Here’s a quick guide to the type of information we share through SchoolMessenger and the BusPlanner Parent Portal, and how to make sure you’re receiving text notices:
Information we share through SchoolMessenger
School cancellations
Delayed school opening
Unplanned early dismissals
System-wide transportation cancellations
School and AVRCE newsletters
Regular updates from your school
Provincial and regional announcements
Information we share through BusPlanner Parent Portal alerts
Timely bus notices, such as late buses or cancelled routes
Changes to your child’s bus route, such as bus stop location or time
How to receive SchoolMessenger texts
Make sure your child’s school has your current mobile number on file (you can update your contact information on the registration form you school sends home in September)
Opt in to text messages by texting Y to 978338
How to receive BusPlanner texts
Access your BusPlanner Parent Portal account online at www.avrce.ca/article/busplanner-web-parent-portal
Click on the “Parent” drop-down menu found on the upper left of the screen.
Select “My Account”
Expand the “Mobile Numbers” menu; add your mobile number, check the box that says “I want to receive text alerts”, then click on the “Update” button. Â
