Greetings!

Each year we conduct a testing of our emergency alert system - One Call Now. This notification service allows us to contact parents and students in case of an emergency during the school day, school delays or closures, or other pertinent information needed to be communicated right away.

After school on Friday, September 20, the communications office will conduct a test of the One Call Now system and Instant Communication email to ensure that each family's correct contact information is registered with the school. If you would like to verify your contact information, or add additional phone numbers or email addresses to your child's profile, please contact Kary Ellen Berger.
