Instant Alert Update Instructions
Dear 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 schools to reach
families quickly and effectively. This
is why our school has decided to implement the Honeywell Instant Alert System for
Schools.
Instant Alert for Schools is
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
student’s 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 or keep
you informed of everyday activities, such as a special event or a schedule
change.
Instant Alert is internet
based, allowing 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 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.
Computers with internet access are available at the Charles M. Bailey
Public Library on
Your online profile will
enable you to:
1.
Input your
personal contact information
2.
Select which type
of school information you would like to receive on each of your contact devices
3.
Add contact
information of other caretakers of your children, such as a grandparent,
daycare, or neighbor
If you need assistance with
your profile, please go to https://instantalert.honeywell.com
and click the Help Request link on the lower right hand corner of the page, or
contact Dorian Edwin in the grade school office at 377-2241, ext. 102. Be sure to set your e-mail spam filter to
receive e-mail updates from Honeywell.com if you choose to use e-mail as one of
your notifications.
We have found this to be a
very valuable communication tool and hope to expand our use of it this
year. We appreciate your willingness to create
and maintain your personal on-line profile.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey E. Ladd
