MESSENGER NOTIFICATION SYSTEM (via Infinite Campus)
What is Messenger® 2.0?
The Infinite Campus (IC) Messenger 2.0 application allows the Morgan County R-II School District to communicate with parents/guardians via phone, email, text messaging or portal inbox as designated in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
NOTE: It is important to routinely verify and adjust these settings to ensure you are receiving all important school and district communications through the desired media. Be sure to check your settings each year during online registration, via your Parent Portal, and when the district is doing routine mass notification system checks.
Where do I adjust my settings after online registration is completed?
To adjust how you receive communications from your school or the Morgan County R-II School District, start by logging into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and use the instructions listed below.
If you do not have a login or password, contact your local school for assistance.
1. Once logged in, click on the ‘head’ in the upper right corner and then select ‘Settings’ from the drop down.
2. In Settings, select Contact Preferences.
3. In Contact Preferences, be sure phone numbers and email addresses are current. If not, please update your email address. You must call your student's building office to update your phone number. It is also possible to select the Preferred Language for the app/website.
4. Select Message Preferences for both phone and email.
5. Be sure to save any changes. The save button is located at the bottom of the screen.

**To get all of the various types of messages you must check all boxes. If you do not check all boxes you will not get all types of messages. If you opt-out, you will not get all types of messages. If you do not provide up-to-date contact information you will not receive messages. We cannot guarantee receipt of messages for these reasons.
It is important to carefully check your settings during the online registration process at the start of each school year. We highly recommend that you check your contact preferences in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal after online registration is completed and that you take time to check your settings when the district is doing routine mass notification system checks.
The district posts messages regarding routine mass notification system checks at the start of the school year, as we get close to winter weather season, during winter weather season, and at the start of Spring.**
