One Call Now is the phone messaging service we primarily use to deliver unexpected schedule changes, updates, and emergency information to parents. Closings or delays due to weather, messages from the business office and information from coaches or moderators to teams and clubs are also some examples of how we use this service.

After school on Friday, Nov. 20, we will be sending out a test call through this service to the number(s) we have on record for all parents. If you do not receive this message, or wish to add additional numbers, please email me so I can ensure your phone number is in our system. 

If you would like to receive a text message when communications are sent, please text ALERT to 22300 (standard messaging rates apply). Additionally, there is a free app for smart phones, called "My Call Now," where you can sign up to receive communications through the app.

Please contact me if you have any questions about our phone messaging service or if you would like to double-check a phone number in our system.
