SchoolReach is the automated messaging system used by Sanborn Central to contact parents and students with important and timely information. Some patrons have reported missing and aborted calls. There are now a couple of new ways to see if you’ve missed a SchoolReach call. The first is a new SchoolReach app for your mobile device. The second is a toll-free number you can call to hear the most recent message sent out, or all the messages in the last 30 days. Both of these will only work for those on the current SchoolReach contact list. Go to the SchoolReach page at www.sanborncentral.com for instructions on both of these new items.
 
More information on Sanborn Central’s mobile app can be found at www.sanborncentral.com.
