Saunemin To Use AlertNow Notification System
January 06, 2010
Keeping you informed is a top priority at Saunemin Elementary School. That’s why we have adopted the ALERTNOW Notification Service which will allow us to send a telephone message to you providing important information about school events or emergencies. We anticipate using ALERTNOW to notify you of school delays or cancellations due to inclement weather, as well as conveying other important information that may need to be relayed in a short period of time. In the event of an emergency at school, you can have peace of mind knowing that you will be informed immediately by phone.
What you need to know about receiving calls sent through ALERTNOW
Caller ID will display the school’s main number when general announcement is delivered.
Caller ID will display 411 if the message is a dire emergency.
ALERTNOW will leave a message on any answering machine or voicemail.
If the ALERTNOW message stops playing, press the number “1” and the message will replay from the beginning.
We are very excited to incorporate ALERTNOW as a tool to improve parent communication and look forward to having the ability to deliver real time information to you should the need arise.
We will also continue to use WJEZ radio (98.9), WHOI and WEEK TV, and our school website (www.saunemin.org) to convey weather related information.
