What SchoolMessenger Communicate is

SchoolMessenger Communicate is a paid school communication service from PowerSchool for families, staff and students. It supports two-way messaging, allowing schools and recipients to exchange messages rather than only sending one-way announcements. Schools can also deliver SMS notifications and voice messages through the service. Access is available through the web, iOS and Android, giving family, staff and student users mobile coverage alongside browser access. SchoolMessenger Communicate supports integration with student information systems, so communication workflows can connect with school records. Its channels bring text, voice and responsive messaging into one school communication service. Schools can provide access through the website or the mobile apps, depending on how their communities connect. The service is headquartered in Folsom, California, United States. SchoolMessenger Communicate uses a paid pricing model for school communications. The combination of two-way messaging, SMS, voice delivery, mobile access and SIS integration is designed for school communities that need several communication methods in one system.
