Dear Parents,

Keeping you informed is a top priority at Community School Corporation of Southern Hancock County.  That’s why we have adopted the ALERTNOW Notification Service (replacing Honeywell Instant Alert), which will allow us to send a telephone or e-mail message to you providing important information about school delays or cancellations due to inclement weather. 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 1 and the message will replay from the beginning.

The system will use phone numbers and email addresses that are currently in the school student database. Please confirm that your contact information is correct when registering your student.
 
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.

Regards,


Southern Hancock Technology Department
