Do
we have to do anything to begin receiving PreK-12 Notification announcements
from our school?
No. Once your school signs
on to the service, you will automatically begin receiving announcements
sent to your primary phone number that you provided to the school
at the beginning of the school year. If that number changes during
the year, please notify your school office.
-
For
emergency announcements, I want to be contacted at more than one
number. How do I add numbers to my emergency contact list?
To add multiple contacts,
call the PreK-12 Notification
Family Hotline from your
primary phone number. Simply follow the telephone prompts to manage
your list. For security reasons, you must call from your primary
phone number to access your contact list
-
My
work phone requires dialing an extension. Should I include my work
number on my list?
No. If your work phone
number requires an extension to be entered or if a receptionist
answers the phone, the school announcement will not reach your extension.
Only direct-dialed lines can be reached. To receive messages at
work, including a business email address may be your best solution.
-
What
if no one is at home to receive the school announcement?
If there is no answer,
the school announcement will be left on your voicemail or an answering
machine. If you do not have an answering machine or voicemail service, PreK-12 Notification will redial for up to three attempts.
