Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification. Vendor Name: Intrado- Skylert. School Messenger was chosen as the supported solution for the District. From an implementation perspective, the system was set up for daily attendance communication, emergency communication, and general communication. The communication system allows for email, phone, text, and social media broadcasts. Alpine District also purchased a product from Skyward that integrates Skyward and Schoolmessenger (called Skylert) which allows parents to govern how to be contacted for general, attendance, and emergencies. Parents log in to Skyward and select their communication preferences which then are transferred from Skyward to Schoolmessenger via the Skylert application.
