"Therefore encourage one another and build each other
up, just as in fact you are doing."
--1 Thessalonians 5:11, ILS theme verse for the 2018 2019 school year

In addition to social media and announcements on our web pages, messages announcing that ILS was closing for the weather-related snow day on Mon., Nov. 26 were shared via text message and email to all parents whose profiles in the Parent Login section of the school website included cell phone numbers and/or email addresses.
|
|
If you have a Parent Login profile but did not receive these messages,
please check your profile to ensure the information is correct,
and that a cell phone number and carrier have been provided,
and that the box for receiving mass text messages has been checked.
If you have not yet created a profile, please go to
ilsbatavia.org/parent_login
and follow the prompts. This is the method that is being used to communicate emergency weather closings and other important and
time-sensitive information to families.
If all information has been provided and is correct, but you did not
receive the text or have other questions regarding Parent Login,
work with you to remedy the situation.
