I have important info to share today!  Please read on:

CKS has purchased and is ready to use, the SchoolMessenger parent notification system. This system will allow the school to contact all parents at once via telephone or e-mail to deliver a message of importance, such as school closings due to weather.  Obviously, the school could also contact parents immediately in case of any type of unforeseen emergency.

It is also possible for school administration (or teachers) to contact specific groups of parents, such as a “homeroom” group or the “Middle School Band.” We could even send out “surveys” with the SchoolMessenger parent notification system. Please be advised that this system will be used only by school personnel and for school business.

On Wednesday, November 12 at approximately 12:00 noon, you will receive a “test” notification via all home and cell phone numbers we have on file for you (we are not using work numbers) and the e-mail we have on file for you. You do not need to respond unless you do NOT receive a call or an e-mail at a number or address that you think the school should have.  You will hear my voice on the phone message.

The SchoolMessenger Company has assured us that all of their systems are safe and private.  Therefore, your phone numbers and e-mails will not fall into unwanted hands.

The school will use this system to notify you of school closings due to weather.  Additionally, we will call WIBC and WTHR Channel 13. 

If you have questions please do not hesitate to call.
