Parents/Guardians:   The schools receive dozens of phone calls immediately after a School Message has been sent, asking if or why the school called their phone number.  Answering the call or listening to the phone message prior to calling the school, would be most efficient for all of us. Certainly, if a message was not received, please call back.   

Text messages are the fastest and most reliable way to get school notifications.

To participate and receive text alerts on your cell, just text Y, YES, or OPT-IN to 68453. 

If the weather is bad, and you do not receive a phone call, please check at least at one of these sources to see if school is cancelled or delayed:
