Instant Alert System for Schools

Dear MSAD #44 Parents,

Keeping parents informed and involved helps to assure student safety and improve student success. With today's on-the-go lifestyles, it has become more difficult for our schools to reach families quickly and effectively. This is why MSAD #44 has decided to implement a new system called Instant AlertTM for Schools.

Instant Alert for Schools should prove to be an essential tool for notification and communication. 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. Instant Alert can also be used to notify you of a school closing due to inclement weather. It is an equally effective way to keep you informed of everyday activities, such as changes in event times and locations.

Instant Alert is an Internet based system. It allows each family to maintain a secure, password protected online profile. Included in this letter is an instruction sheet for accessing the system and creating your individual 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. I would urge you to take a few minutes today to complete this process.
