The SchoolReach contact system is new this year. It is a telephone broadcast system that will enable school personnel to notify all households and parents by phone within minutes of an emergency or unplanned event that causes early dismissal, school cancellation or late start by phone, SMS (text messages), and email. The service may also be used from time-to-time to communicate general announcements or reminders. When used, the service will call all phone numbers in our selected parent contact lists and will deliver a recorded message from a school administrator. The service will deliver the message to both live answer and answering machines. No-answers (phones ringing over 40 sec.) and busies will be automatically retried twice in fifteen minute intervals after the initial call. If you miss a message, you may check the school website or call 855-955-8500 and follow the prompts.
