Pomperaug Regional School District 15

ALERTNOW: Region 15's Emergency Notification System

<Click here to repeat last message>

To further improve its communication with parents and guardians, Pomperaug Regional School District 15 has in place a web-based rapid notification system to inform parents of an emergency.  The emergency notification system, called ALERTNOW, can contact thousands of parents and guardians simultaneously, using the contact telephone number on file at the child’s school and, eventually, through E-mail.

The rapid-caller system can contact thousands of parents and guardians at the same time, within five minutes. This system works even when local power is out, and if Internet or local school phone lines are inoperable. ALERTNOW will deliver critical first hand information to parents that will improve the safety of the students, staff and parents.

In case of an emergency, the District has the ability to contact parents of students immediately without using the school’s phone lines. If a school is closing due to an emergency, or the District is taking action to ensure the safety of the students, the message will convey to parents any actions that need to be taken or that were taken. 

The system is programmed to only call the telephone number on file once, should a family have more than one child enrolled in the Region 15 school system.

NEW!  At this time, Region 15 does not call families via AlertNow regarding School Delays or Cancellations.
