Overview
The Franklin
Local School District has a system to notify parents by
telephone, e-mail messages, and text message of school emergencies, school closings, delays,
early dismissals, and announcements of upcoming school and district events. We
implemented this system in order to be better able to communicate with you. The system is called OME-RESA's PreK-12 Notification. Parents should expect
to receive both urgent and non-urgent announcements throughout the school year.
We have
already created a parent account for you with your home number entered as the
main contact number. Parents have the option to enter up to three more
telephone numbers or cell phone numbers, and up to four email addresses or text
messages into the system. Our
call-out system has the capability to also deliver our messages to you at the
additional numbers that you add to your account. We hope that you find our use
of this new system helpful as you monitor your child’s safety at school and in
keeping informed about upcoming events at school.
