Connect-ED System:

This is an automated phone messaging system which enables the school/district to personally communicate with parents and staff regarding emergency situations within minutes.

To optimize effectiveness of Connect-ED:

  • Ensure your current phone number is on file with the school.
  • If possible, move to a quiet area or press ‘mute’ on your phone when listening to the message (background noise will cause the system to stop and start).
  • Stay on the line and press the star (*) key on your phone to repeat the entire message if you missed any part of it.


Note: If you have Caller ID, the number will display the school or district phone number when receiving a Connect-ED message.
