Emergency Notifications
The district uses a global communication system to provide timely communication to parents on matters such as attendance, activities, and school and district emergencies. The phone numbers you indicate as your automated calling numbers during registration will always be called if a telephone call is placed. In the event of an emergency during the school day, the numbers listed under emergency contacts on your enrollment form may also be called. Most non-emergency communications will be emailed to the email addresses you added during registration.
If school is delayed or canceled, a phone call will be made at the time of the Superintendent's decision, which will activate the call system. The system can make up to 4000 phone calls simultaneously, and phone numbers that are busy will be retried up to four times. Closing and delay calls due to weather can be made as early as 5:00 AM, so please make sure any numbers you list are accurate and want the early phone call.
Due to the wide variety of phones, answering machines, and services, you may receive only a partial message or no message at all. You may be called several times if the system does not recognize that a phone call has been completed to your phone; however, that is a rare occurrence.
Should you receive a phone call that you believe to be in error, please make sure that you are not an emergency contact for a student. If you wish to remove your phone number from the call system, please contact the school district at 570-325-3691 or use the deletion form. Requests may take several days to update
