Thanks for visiting our school website
Keeping parents informed and involved helps to assure student safety and improve student success. With today’s fast paced lifestyles and demands it is crucial to reach families quickly and effectively. This is why our school has decided to implement a new system called “Instant Alert” for Schools.
Instant Alert for Schools is an essential tool for notification and communication. Within minutes of an emergency school officials can use Instant Alert to deliver a single, clear message to the students’ parents or guardians by telephone, cell phone, e-mail, pager, or PDA in any combination. The system can be used to notify you of a school closing, delayed opening, or early closing and schedule changes necessary.
The system is internet based, allowing each family to maintain a secure, password protected online profile. Included in this letter is an instruction sheet for accessing the system and creating your very own notification system. You can log into your profile at any time to update your contact information. **It is important to remember that you must also notify the school when your emergency contacts change so that the school is kept informed of any changes too.**
Your on-line profile will enable you to:
- Input your personal contact information
- Select which type of school information you would like to receive on each of your contact devices.
- Send yourself a test text message to make sure your text messaging contact information is entered correctly.
- Add contact information of other caretakers of your children, such as grandparents, childcare, or neighbors.
- Designate these caretakers as the main contact for your children if you are out of town. The school will check this information on the first Monday in school, of each month for updates.
In addition to receiving communication alerts on your designated contact devices, the alert messages will also appear in your online profile. You can use this feature to read any alerts that may have been erased or deleted accidentally on your other contact devices.
The system is ready for you at: https://instantalert.honeywell.com
We encourage all of you to take advantage of this opportunity, as we will be utilizing this system along with our normal radio and TV contacts to keep you informed.
If you need assistance with your profile, please send an e-mail to : InstantAlertHelp@Honeywell.com
