    Thx 4 ur feedback
    ISACS survey results revealed that besides email, parents' next preferred method of communication is text messaging. We are listening! Even as winter weather is(hopefully!) behind us, we wanted to remind you of our free text alert notification program. 
    If you have not already done so, simply text @163795 to 81010. In addition to weather and safety drill announcements, we will occasionally use this alert system to remind you of important action items or upcoming events.
