Emergency Notification

In an emergency situation, our first priority is the safety of students and staff. Once safety is assured, we will notify families about emergencies affecting the schools their children attend.

We use multiple methods to communicate with families in an emergency. We use ParentLink, an automatic phone dialing system, to get information out rapidly to familes of students at one school or to the entire district. To ensure that you receive messages, please make sure your children's schools have correct phone numbers.

Schools are just beginning to collect e-mail addresses from families to implement ParentLink's e-mail notification feature. We plan to use both systems because phone works better for some families and e-mail is more convenient for others.

We may also send informational letters home, either through the mail, or by SneakerNet (having children bring information home).

If you have questions or concerns about any emergency situations, please contact your child's school, or call the District Office at (916) 375-7600.
