KPBSD Emergency Communications Test Set For Wednesday

Author: KSRM News Desk |

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District will be conducting a Districtwide Emergency Communications Test scheduled for Wednesday, October 19th.

 

The emergency test will send test messages via email, text message and automated call to establish and evaluate the district’s ability to distribute information to parents and students throughout the district.

 

According to KPBSD, district communication is distributed to parents through email using the SchoolMessenger notification system.

 

Notifications are about district or school information including school closures, early releases or power outages, and updates from your school principal.

 

Contact your school to ensure your information is current in PowerSchool so you can receive emails and text messages.

 

Automated KPBSD district phone calls come from one main number: 907-714-8966If you miss a phone call or voice message from the district, call the number and listen to the last several voice messages sent to your phone (most recent will play first).

 

Text Messages (SMS): To receive text messages from the school or district, parents must have an active SMS number on file in PowerSchool AND opt-in to receive text messages via their mobile carrier. To opt-in via your mobile phone, text “YES” to 67587 and you will receive a confirmation message.
