Broadcast Alerts. In addition to being advised when content has been updated, registered users can receive notifications via email and/or mobile text message (SMS) for notifications pertaining to such things as early dismissal and school closures/delay, as well as urgent issues.
Mobile Alerts. As part of the registration process, registrants can elect to provide their cell phone number. When Broadcast Alerts are issued, the originator has the option to also transmit this as a text (SMS) message depending of the circumstance. As the registered user, you can either elect to receive only urgent/emergency notifications via text or receive all notifications as text messages.
