Safety Communications

  • How can I as a parent or guardian be assured I receive the most up-to-date information from my child’s school?
    To ensure every parent has the most accurate contact information in an emergency situation, parents must keep contact information up-to-date in PowerSchool. (If your phone number or address has changed, please contact the school secretary.)  To update your contact information, please click here.

    How does the District communicate with parents and guardians in emergency situations?

    The District contracts with an automated notification system for its parent notification system, which enables the District to send bulk emails, automated phone calls and text messages to parents, guardians and other adults that are identified as contacts.

    How do I receive text messages? 
    To receive text messages, call the school secretary and ask to add this as an approved communication channel.

    When and how will I be notified if there is an emergency at my child’s school?
    The means and immediacy of communication will depend on the scope of the event and on the potential or actual impact to the safety of the students. While it is difficult to describe all possible scenarios, the information below can be used as a guide to where parents should look for information.

    • Monitor email, text messages, voicemail
    • Visit the district website for updates
    • Visit the district’s Facebook page

    Important to note: While we recognize that families may want detailed information regarding some situations, it is important to note that, according to the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, schools are not allowed to share out with their school community-specific details of an incident if it includes any personally identifiable information about a student or information that a reasonable person in the community can use to identify a specific student.
