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

Our regional emergency communications system is Flash Alert. We contact them as soon as the decision is made, no later than 6:00 am. You are able to sign up to receive a notification from Flash Alert by visiting their website at www.flashalert.net.
