EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS
Apptegy is the primary public announcement system that delivers personalized phone, text message, and/or e-mail messages to parents, staff, or other groups via home, office, and/or cell phones. Parents/Guardians do not have to do anything to receive communications through this new system as it is pulled through information from our parent-student information system, PowerSchool. Our secondary method to report school closings and delays is local television (KCRG, KGAN, and KWWL) announcements.
Apptegy will also allow a school administrator to record a short message to be delivered to an extensive or selective list of parents or teachers. School administrators may use Apptegy to send messages home to all parents in a building, all parents in a grade level, or special groups of parents.
Apptegy will deliver calls for school closings, emergencies, and weather delays.
School administrators will use this system to send out general announcements and notifications on an as needed basis.
