Checking for Messages in the PowerSchool Parent Portal

How to Check Past Broadcast Messages Sent from School Messenger

Please complete the following steps to see past messages sent from the school district. 

Step 1: Sign in to Parent/Student PowerSchool on a computer:  https://powerschool.ccsdut.org/.

Step 2: You will see tabs at the top with your child(ren)'s name(s).  Choose the child at the top for whom you would like to see the school related messages:

 

Step 3: Scroll down until you find the "School Messenger" icon and link. Click on it.

 

Step 4: Your SchoolMessenger inbox will display.

The inbox shows all the messages sent to you regarding this student. The subject of the email will be listed as well as the start of the message. Icons will indicate whether the message was an email, text message, and/or phone call. It will indicate who sent the message and when it was sent.

Clicking the message will display the message that was sent. Click on the tab for the type of message you would like to view.

 

NOTE:  If this is your first time clicking the icon, you may receive some prompts asking if it is okay to call specific phone numbers. Select Yes or No depending on what you would like to do. It also may ask you to verify that you are associated with the various contacts for which you are associated. If you are associated with those contacts, click yes. If not, please contact the school and have them update your contact associations.

This system works similar to other inboxes. You can read, search, filter, and delete messages as desired.
