New parent notification system to improve communications

In an effort to improve communications with parents and staff members, Walla Walla Public Schools has teamed with US NetCom to provide a new instant notification system.

This new service allows each school and the district office to send out telephone calls and e-mail messages to parents and staff in a matter of minutes.

How will the notification system be used?

• School activities/events reminders
• School and district level crisis/emergency information and instructions
• School delays/closures messages
• Safe Schools TipLine reporting
• Attendance calls to parents
