Instant Alert
|
Keeping families informed about safety issues as well as activities helps increase student success at school. With today’s on-the-go lifestyles, it has become more difficult for schools to reach families quickly and effectively. This is why BGA has decided to implement a new system called InstantAlert for Schools. InstantAlert for Schools is a notification and communication tool that will allow BGA personnel to contact families within minutes of an emergency. School officials can use Instant Alert to deliver a single, clear message to the students’ parents or guardians by telephone, cell phone, e-mail, pager or PDA in any combination. The system can also be used to notify you of a school closing due to inclement weather. It’s an equally effective way to keep you informed of everyday activities, such as event times and locations as well as schedule changes. The system is Internet based, allowing each family to maintain a secure, password protected online profile. You can log into your profile at any time to update your contact information. Maintaining the accuracy of your profile will increase the ability of the school to keep you informed. Your online profile will enable you to: Input your personal contact information, Select which type of school information you would like to receive on each of your contact devices, Send yourself a test text message to make sure your text messaging contact information is entered correctly, Add contact information of other caretakers of your children, such as a grandparent or neighbor. In addition to receiving communication alerts on your designated contact devices, the alert messages will also appear in your online profile. You can use this feature to read any alerts that may have been erased or deleted accidentally on your other contact devices. The system can be accessed via your browser at https://instantalert.honeywell.com.
