Be the first to know
Are you already receiving emergency notifications and other important information from the district? If you are not, make sure your phone number is up to date in Oracle and that you opt in to receive text messages.
Be among the first to know if, for example, the district will be closed due to inclement weather, by making sure you provide your cell phone as your Home number in Oracle. While some people still have a landline number as their Home number, we recommend using your cell phone so that you can get emergency and other important notifications via text. Follow these simple steps:
- Make sure your main cell phone number is in the Home field in your contact information in Oracle. If you have entered your cell phone number in another field, you can switch it to Home. Follow the steps below or download this guide to learn how to update your number.
- Once you have updated your contact information in Oracle, just send a text message of “Y” or “Yes” from the cellphone in Home to our district’s short code number—67587*. SchoolMessenger will never share your information.
- You will get a confirmation text.
- You are ready to receive text message notifications and alerts from Dallas ISD!
Providing updated contact information will ensure you can get not just emergency calls, but also important information about benefits and updates.
To update or confirm your information, log into Oracle using one of the following links:
- Within the District network or VPN: https://orion.dallasisd.org/iorion
- Outside the District network: https://orion.dallasisd.org/dorion
- Go to Employee Self-Service and follow the steps below:
- Human Resources/Payroll Employee Self-Service > Employee Self-Service > Human Capital Management Information > Personal Information
