| What is SchoolMessenger? |
 |
SchoolMessenger is an automated calling system
that notifies parents in Dillon School District Four. SchoolMessenger
calls are made after 9:30 each day for students who are tardy. Calls are made between 6:00 and 9:00 PM
for other areas. The system is also used for providing school
closing information and other important news for parents. It is very
important that parent/guardians keep schools updated on any phone number
changes. For more
