School Reach Test Message

The following test School Reach message was sent by Dr. Lamberson Thursday afternoon:

“11/19/09 Good afternoon, this is Dr. Lamberson. This is an informational phone call to District 96 parents…there is no emergency!

Before winter weather arrives, I want to ensure that our SchoolReach emergency phone system is properly working, since I will use it in the event of an emergency school closing. This system will call up to 3 numbers; the ones you listed on the registration form: mom’s day phone, dad’s day phone and the home phone number.

In the event, you received this message on 1 or 2 phones, but not all 3, we may have a wrong phone number recorded in our database. Please alert your school office. We will make the necessary correction so that in the event of an emergency, I can communicate with you as soon as possible.

If you would like to know other occasions when this system will be used, please refer to the District’s 2009-10 Communication Guide. It’s posted on the district’s website under the “resources” tab.

As Thanksgiving quickly approaches, I extend my wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Thank You!”
