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 / Guardians need only provide their contact information and keep it current with the appropriate school personnel. Parents and Guardians must contact their students' school to make changes to existing contact information we have on record. Failure to maintain current contact information may result in Parents and Guardians not receiving notifications of school delays, early dismissals, closings, attendance, and/or emergency information.
Messages are sent via phone call, email, and/or text. When text messages are sent you must opt-in to receive them. The first time a text message is sent to your phone number you'll be requested to opt in to receive notifications. If you would like to continue receiving messages from WPS you must reply affirmatively with one of the opt-in words provided in the text message. Simply reply to the original message (or send a text message to 67587) with either the words "opt in" or "subscribe" or "YES".
