EMERGENCY CLOSING NOTIFICATIONS

The District may implement its automated telephone communication system at any time. This communication enables administration to reach thousands of phone numbers in a matter of minutes. This system is used to communicate emergency information, including but not limited to inclement weather closings, early dismissals due to inclement weather or other such emergencies that are deemed important by the District.


In such instances, parents or guardians will need to have emergency accommodations in place.

This information is pulled from the Genesis Parent Portal. Parents should log into the Genesis Parent Portal and click on the Contacts tab at the top of the screen. Once on the contact screen, the parent can add or update their phone numbers. The important part is to set the Notification flags (Emergency and Non-Emergency). Once done, click the “Save All Changes” button.
