    Communications to Families:  BlackBoard Mass Notifications

    The District uses Mass Notifications to very quickly place a phone call, text, and/or email all families and staff. If there is an issue that will impact the start of the school day, we will send a robo-call to all families at around 6 am. In order for this system to work best, please keep your contact information in Skyward up-to-date. 

    Get notified as soon as we contact the media = FlashAlert.net
