Parent Instruction Sheet
to access your profile.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
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 Van Buren Public Schools has decided to implement a new system called Honeywell Instant Alert® 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 students’ 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. It’s an equally effective way to keep you informed of everyday activities, such as event times and locations as well as schedule changes.
Instant Alert is Internet based, allowing each family to maintain a secure, password protected online profile. The alert system is now operational, but we need your help. At the top of this page, you will find a link to an instruction sheet for accessing the system and creating your profile. We ask that you log into your profile as soon as possible to update your contact information and alert configuration. Maintaining the accuracy of your profile will increase the ability of the school to keep you informed.
Your online profile will enable you to:
We hope you will find this new service valuable. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your school or call (734) 697-9123, ext. 224.
Sincerely,
Thomas W. Riutta Superintendent
