Complete instructions are at https://mpls.k12.mn.us/school_messenger , but in a nutshell you will go to https://go.schoolmessenger.com/#/home and either log in or sign up.  You can link to your student(s) after registering with one of the email addresses that you have put down on my child’s emergency contact card at the start of the school year.
