This is a reminder that Sycamore Community Schools will be testing our mass notification system tonight (12/2) at 5:30 p.m. to ensure families receive phone calls and text messages in the case of a school cancellation or delay.

If meteorologists warn winter weather is on the way, a team of administrators will drive the local roads overnight to determine whether or not it is safe for our school buses, students, and staff to travel to school. Calls will be made no earlier than 5:00 a.m. and no later than 10:00 p.m.

For families, Sycamore Community Schools will use the primary phone number and email entered in Final Forms to contact you. Please log on to Final Forms to verify that your primary contact information is correct.

If you need to change your primary phone number or address, please update that information in Final Forms. Then, contact the front office at your child’s school to ensure your new contact information is manually updated in our system.

For staff, the district will use the phone number provided to payroll and your @sycamoreschools.org email address to contact you in case of a school cancellation or delay. Contact Haley Rust, Payroll Supervisor at rusth@sycamoreschools.org if you need to make a change to your primary phone number.

Families and staff do not need to opt in to receive emergency calls or emails. If you would like to opt-out of future calls or emails, contact helpdesk@sycamoreschools.org. Please be aware that opting out will result in you no longer receiving any calls or emails from the district (ie. school closings, crisis/emergency notifications, newsletters, regular district, and school communications)

We will also communicate delays and closings to you through local media, social media, text messages, and our website. Download the Sycamore Community Schools mobile app today to be the first to know about closures and delays via our push notifications. You can also follow @TopAviator and @AviatorOps on Twitter for updates live on the roads.
