While Chesapeake Public Schools does not charge a fee for this service, standard text and data charges may apply. CPS is not responsible for any charges from a person’s service provider that may result from the provision of this service. Please check with your individual carrier regarding any charges which may apply.

In addition to registering your mobile phone as indicated above, please be sure that Chesapeake Public Schools has your wireless number in our student information database. On your child’s blue card, you will need to put your wireless number in the text message number section.
