Hempfield School District utilizes a text messaging system to notify parents/guardians of student absences, emergencies, school closings, delays, or unexpected early dismissals. Families no longer need to subscribe or “opt in” to receive the messages.

This process will NOT work using the app. You must use a laptop or desktop computer.

3. Select the Student Demographic Information Update icon on the left-hand side (scroll to the bottom);

4. Enter your child’s date of birth for authentication.

5. Select “Begin Forms.”

6. After making your updates, the last page will show you a summary and a submit button. Click submit. Double-check to ensure your cell phone number is listed as 'MOBILE' and not 'HOME' phone from the dropdown menu.
