Hello [First Name]:

[District Name/School Name] is pleased to announce the partnership with Alert Solutions to provide PowerTeacher integrated messaging capabilities.  This solution provides the ability for you to send messages to your classes to improve school communication and parent engagement.

You can use this solution to communicate a variety of subjects, such as:

·        Class Assignments

·        Field Trip Permission Slips

·        Student Evaluations

·        Progress Updates

·        Student Schedules

·        Content Distribution

Getting Started:

1.    Log-in to PowerTeacher at [URL] with your PowerTeacher user name and password.

 2. Click the Alert Solutions 2 link on your left navigation.  Please login with the following credentials:

User name: [User Name]

Password: [Password] 

Once you are logged in, you will be prompted to update your default settings.  To learn how to update your default settings, please click here.

For consistency across the district/school system, please use the following:

Email From:  [Preferred Email From address]

Once you have signed in with this method, and after the next nightly sync (based on timing of your sign-in) between our PowerSchool data and Alert Solutions 2, you will be able to view as available lists your classes where you are the lead teacher.

Tip!  Please allow 24 hours for this process to complete.  After 24 hours, access the system a second time to begin actively using  Alert Solutions 2.
