E-mail and text alerts are now available!
We are glad to announce that text message and e-mail alerts are available and ready for sign up. One very important note - sign ups from our previous website did not carry over to the new service. If you signed up for alerts prior to July 1st 2011, you must sign up again. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you are unsure when or if you signed up, just sign up again.
Text Alerts
Currently, we have 3 categories:
District announcements - Items of importance that apply to Dewey Public Schools. An example of this might be notifications or reminder about Picture Day, Parent Teacher Conferences, or other school / district wide events. For text alerts, school closings are not typically included in this category.
Athletic Announcements - Announcements that apply more specifically to the athletic department. A notice or reminder about homecoming or a last minute game cancelation might fall in this category.
School Closings - This category includes information about school closings, or changes to the school academic calendar. A notice that school is closed due to snow or a reminder that school is out for a teacher in-service day is an example of an alert for this category.
E-mail Alerts
At this time, there are two categories for e-mail alerts.
District announcements - Items of importance that apply to Dewey Public Schools. An example of this might be notifications or reminder about Picture Day, Parent Teacher Conferences, or other school / district wide events. For e-mail alerts, this category also includes info on school closings, and changes to the school academic calendar, such as an early release due to a water outage, or a reminder that school is out for teacher in-service.
Athletic Announcements - Announcements that apply more specifically to the athletic department. A notice about the softball team going to regionals or a last minute schedule change / game cancelation might fall in this category.
Feel free to sign up for one or all of these groups. We know your time is valuable so our hope is to not over burden you with texts or emails. Rarely an announcement might fall into two categories like parent teacher conferences which are an event, and a school closing, but this isn't common. Of course, your regular text message rates will apply, but our goal as always is to keep you as up-to-date as possible.
