The goal of this RFE is to allow parents to update their Skylert information (especially to enter "Text Message" numbers)via the Skyward Mobile App. They currently have to do so via the web version of Family Access.

Like many Skyward school districts we use School Messenger for our mass communication system (phone/email/SMS/CustomMobileApp/SocialMedia) and we deploy the Skylert Interface in Skyward so that parents can use their Family Access account to enter/update additional contact information especially Text Message numbers - By entering the Text Message numbers in Family Access/Skylert parents are opting in for text messages to be sent to them by the school district (as required by the FCC) and parents don't need to use an additional app (the School Messenger mobile app) to do this because Skylert uploads the data to School Messenger.
As mentioned above School Messenger has a mobile app for parents to use but we prefer to keep parents doing all of their school business in Family Access rather than having to use multiple redundant apps to do it. Another advantage of doing this is that the data only needs to be entered/changed once (in Family Access) and it will be available in both Skyward and School Messenger. If they had to use the School Messenger mobile app then they would have to also enter it in Family Access for the data to get into Skyward.
Many parents prefer to use the Skyward Mobile app whenever possible to do their Family Access business. Adding the Skylert feature to the Skyward Mobile app would make it more convenient to add/update their Text Message numbers so more of them would do it and take advantage of the SMS option in School Messenger.
