SchoolMessenger

SchoolMessenger is the district's notification software used for emergency information (e.g. weather-related or other), school news, student and staff accomplishments, upcoming events, current issues affecting WSD families and other district/school communication. Family contact information entered into Infinite Campus is automatically uploaded to SchoolMessenger allowing e-news to be shared via phone, text and email. 

Schoology

All teachers in grades 6-12 use Schoology - an online tool that serves as a one-stop shop for course information, assignments, grades and other learning related information. Teachers also use it to post updates to their class and school administration posts important notifications such as upcoming events. Parents can register for a Schoology account that is linked with their children's accounts. One username and password within Schoology grants access to your child(ren)’s teachers, courses, schoolwork and grades.
