NO SCHOOL NOTIFICATIONS - WEATHER CLOSURE
An automated call out was activated yesterday for the 2 hour delay, and then for the school closure. If you did not receive a call, it could be for a few varying reasons. 1)If you have changed phone numbers, or have become a cell only household and have NOT notified the office of those changes. 2)If you are a cell only household and had your cell phone shut off. 3)If you have voice messaging but your greeting is more than 3 minutes long. 4)If you do not have voice messaging. *Please remember, as with all technology, it is a great TOOL and helps us to keep you informed, but it may not be
perfect. We will do our best to keep you informed in the event of a school closure. This information is released to local TV and radio stations as well. Thank you for your help to keep you and your child's contact information current.
