AlertNow is Rockwood's automatic notification system that delivers voice/email/text messages to telephones, cell phones or any Internet-enabled device. Parents will receive important information – such as emergency notifications, school closings due to inclement weather, and other school news - if the district has the accurate household contact information.

 Parents can receive two types of information from ALERTNOW: Emergency

• Caller ID will display a 411 if the message is for an emergency.

• Emergency or crisis messages will be delivered to phone numbers identified in the student system, including cell and work phone numbers.

• Types of calls include school cancellations for inclement weather and crisis notifications for school emergencies.

Informational

• Caller ID will display the school’s main number when a general announcement is delivered.

• Informational messages will only be delivered to the phone number designated as a household number.

The successful delivery of information is dependent upon two things: Accurate contact information for each student:

• Collected and updated through your child’s home school.

• If your contact information changes, please notify the home school immediately.
