Emergency Notification Information

Milan Special School District offers an emergency notification system to deliver recorded phone, email messages, and/or text messages whenever schools close due to inclement weather, if schools are to dismiss students early, or for some other emergency.

With this emergency notification system, two phone numbers (the top two {2} contacts in Synergy/Parent Vue) and one email address for a guardian have been imported into the ThrillShare-MSSD's all-call system. The information was taken from the Synergy student records database. Student records also contain Emergency Contact Information with the names of individuals the school may call if the parents are unavailable. The emergency contact information is NOT imported into ThrillShare (all-call system), only the top 2 contacts from Synergy Parent Vue Portal.
