NEW INFORMATION AS OF 08/30/2024

With our new email, texting, and phone communications system, we have been working to correct some errors with users who should not have been included (ie emergency contacts and individual pick-ups), as well as some errors for users who should have been included in our new system. We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the quality of our communications setup. Moving forward, below are some items to note regarding users who wish to receive our district notifications:

• By default, our system will be sending text, phone, and email notifications to users who (a) are listed as custodians of a student, or (b) have the student documented as living at their residence.
• To receive texts, these users will now need to opt in to text communications per national SMS standards. To opt in to district notifications via text, simply text YES to 79041. You will then receive a confirmation text that you are subscribed to BrightArrow notifications.
• If there are any additional users that would like to receive notifications outside of the above criteria listed, they can call the respective school office and be added to the notification lists. If you would also like your student(s) to receive text/call notifications, please let your school office know.
• If you are receiving notifications via text, phone, or email, and would not like to, please contact the district to be placed on the no-call list.
• Individuals who would like notifications via our app as well can check out the instructions for opt-in push notifications: https://bit.ly/hilltopnewwebsite>

If you have student(s) attending Millcreek-West Unity School and have not received any messages via your phone, email, or text messaging system, please contact your child's school office.
