HOW WILL PARENTS KNOW IF AN EMERGENCY OCCURS?
Parkland School District uses a mass communications system, the District website, Facebook, and Twitter as part of its ongoing efforts to communicate with students, families, and staff. In an emergency, the mass communications system will be used to contact parents directly via telephone as quickly as possible. A variety of critical situations that impact children, ranging from a bus accident or severe weather and power outages to emergencies that may cause a school to evacuate, shelter, or lockdown, will trigger a phone call. School Messenger may also be used by individual schools to communicate important routine information to their school community.
Watch for a phone call, email, or text message with information sent via the PSD mass communication system.

Every parent who has a child attending Parkland schools is automatically signed up to receive messages through School Messenger; however, it is up to you to keep the school informed of any changes to your email address, phone numbers, or emergency contacts. In order for Parkland School District to contact you as quickly as possible when an emergency occurs, the District must have accurate contact information for all parents.
Whenever a parent changes a phone number or e-mail address, they need to notify their child’s school as soon as possible so that their information can be updated.
