Sign Up for School Text Messages from our Principal:
I will be utilizing a text messaging service that will allow me to quickly communicate pertinent time-sensitive information. This will not take the place of a phone messenger and/or a letter being sent home school-wide, and is optional. This service may be beneficial to families who may not be near their home phone during the school day. This service does not allow for incoming messages.
To Sign Up:
In your text message box, enter the following code: @mcep to (919) 585-5676
After doing so, a message will be sent to your phone asking you to enter your name. Please follow the prompt, entering your first and last name(Please do not use nicknames), and press send. Once this has been completed, you will be registered for the text messaging service.
To be removed from the text messaging service, please email Mrs. Parrish at mparrish@wcpss.net. Please include the name you entered when signing up for the service.
