Alerts by Apptegy
Beginning in July 2021, we began using Alerts, which allow us to send out voice calls, text-to-voice calls, texts, emails and push notifications to our app users.
Parents/Guardians do not need to do anything to sign up for these alerts, since your contact information is being pulled directly through our Student Information System.
Messages may be sent using the following methods:
Phone Call (Parents/guardians of students in the district)
Email (Parents/guardians of students in the district)
SMS Text (Parents/guardians of students in the district)
However, not all alerts will involve ALL of those components; it is determined by the person sending the alert.
We will continue to send messages using voice, e-mail AND SMS text to alert our parents and staff during inclement weather.
As a backup to Apptegy Alerts, for possible school closures, we recommend that watch one of Cleveland's TV stations (on your TV or online) to see if we are closed: WKYC, WEWS, WOIO & WJW.
Parents & Guardians, please make sure that your phone and email information is up-to-date. If you change a phone number or email address, please update that immediately in FinalForms.
If you have any questions about the Alerts System, please email business@kentschools.net or call the Business Office at 330-676-7650.
