On October 11, every guardian should receive a recorded voice message on the phone numbers registered with the district. This is the phone number that would be called in the event of an emergency, such as a weather-related closing. There is no need to respond to the phone message. However, if you do not receive the call by 10 a.m. Friday, October 11, contact your school secretary to ensure that the school has your correct information.
