Alert phone calls, texts, and e-mails are sent to the above referenced numbers during a school emergency, closing or delay, or student absence. The instant alert system is also utilized for school events or announcements, as deemed necessary by school administration.
Alert system notification is automatic. To ensure alerts are received, Parents and Guardians need only provide the above contact information and keep it current with the appropriate school personnel. Parents and Guardians will need to contact their students current school to make changes to existing contact information we have on file for the student. Failure to maintain current contact phone numbers and email addresses can result in Parents and Guardians not receiving notifications of school delays, early dismissals, closings, attendance, and/or emergency information.
Messages are sent to home and mobile phones, e-mail, and text. While phone calls and e-mails are automatic, users must choose to receive text alerts. When a students contact information is initially sent to SchoolMessenger by WPS, a text is automatically sent to the mobile phone numbers of the main and secondary contacts Contacts can reply YES to the message or, at a later time, text YES to 68453. Text authorizations can be removed via the SchoolMessenger contact management portal.
