    SchoolMessenger Notification System

    Williamston Community Schools utilizes a rapid notification system called SchoolMessenger.  This automated system is used to notify you of school closings, unexcused absences for students at the secondary level, and other important messages.  SchoolMessenger can send thousands of phone, email, and text message notifications in just a matter of minutes.

    Phone calls and email messages will go out at that time based on the information in our PowerSchool student information system. 

    You can add additional phone numbers and email addresses at which to be contacted by logging into your PowerSchool Parent Access account.  Instructions for doing so posted in the Useful Resources section of this webpage.
