Message Center

Revised 5/18/2018

The Message Center provides a simple and secure means to communicate with your staff. You are able to send messages with attached documents to staff members (i.e. Class Lists, Grade Verifications, Attendance reports, Eligibility reports, etc.). This program is ALL SDS and does not rely on an email program. The "Alert Message Bar" automatically appears when a message is ready to be read by the recipient. After the message is handled, the alert is removed automatically. Is there lack of communication within your district? If so, start communicating TODAY with the Message Center!
