Vicksburg Community Schools Activates Instant Alert® System for Parents
The Vicksburg School District has implemented a system to notify parents within minutes of school closings, early dismissals, emergencies and other important school information. Each family can choose to be notified by home telephone, cell phones, work phones, e-mail, pager or PDAs in any combination. Families can access the system to maintain accurate and updated contact information.
Currently, each family's home phone is in the system. The District is asking everyone to register with the new alert system if you have not already done so. The registration web site is https.instantalert.honeywell.com. Please click on the links below for complete details and registration instructions. You can also contact your school office for assistance.
All school and event cancellations will still be on your local television and radio stations.
Please note that this does not take place of notifying your building office or the Transportation Department if you have any changes in contact, caregiver, or transportation information. All the alert will do is notify you in the event of school closings and other important school information.
