New Emergency Communications System

The Board will be testing a new e​mergency communications system on Tuesday, November 19

We are introducing a new communications system that will send text messages to parents/guardians for emergency purposes only, such as the rare event of a school closure. 

If the school has your cell phone number (documented as your cell and not your home phone number), you will receive a test text message. This message will also include information about how to opt out of this system. 

If you do not receive a text and wish to participate in the program, please ensure that your school has your cell phone number.

Transportation cancellations or school closures will also continue to be communicated through:
