Use Emergency Alerts to send text messages to staff, caregivers and students in minutes. You will then receive real-time delivery reports to enable you to identify parents who may need to be contacted by phone or email. If you are unable to enter the school building or if the school network has taken a hit, you can use any smart device on the mobile network. Just open the School-links app or the browser to convey your emergency alert. Examples of use: school closures, natural disasters, updating parents during a bomb scare, alerting staff and students to a lockdown unobtrusively if there is a dangerous person on the school grounds.
