Commander Communicator: 8/16/24

Posted August 26, 2024

Welcome back, Commanders! We hope you had an amazing and memorable summer. As we prepare for students to return next week, we wanted to share additional information and reminders.

All DPS schools have switched to a new messaging platform, called Thrillshare by Apptegy! Here’s what you need to know: 

  • All messages will be delivered in families’ preferred languages, as noted in Infinite Campus. If you would like to change the language you are receiving communications in, please update your profile in the Parent Portal. 
  • School communications will now be delivered from noreply@dpsk12.org. Please add this recipient to your contact list or monitor your Spam/Junk folder to ensure you are receiving new communications.
  • If you “opt-out” of receiving communications at any point during the school year, you will be unsubscribed from all school and District communication and alerts, including emergency communications. For this reason, we highly discourage families from opting out of communications. 
  • Per DPS policy, students in 9th grade or higher can subscribe to receive school messages directly, but their guardians are required to receive the same messages. Communications will not be sent to students only.
