Communicating with School
Families in an Emergency
Automated Telephone Call-Out System*
— In an
emergency, this automated system allows district
officials to instantaneously send a recorded
telephone message to school families by building
or across the district (using the phone number
on each student’s School Emergency Card) with
important information or instructions.
LISTSERV® E-Mail Communications* — In an
emergency, LISTSERV allows district officials
can send important information and updates
directly to parent e-mail addresses. To sign-up
for LISTSERV, go to the district website at
www.northville.k12.mi.us and click on the
LISTSERV option in the upper right-hand corner
of the home page.
Northville Public Schools website — Emergency
information also will be posted as bulletins,
with regular updates, on the district website
home page (www.northville.k12.mi.us).
Local TV and Radio News Stations — In an
emergency, parents also should monitor local TV
and radio news stations for regular updates and
instructions.
*IMPORTANT: For these communications systems to
work appropriately, it is critical that parents
regularly update the phone numbers on their
student’s School Emergency Card (by contacting
their child’s school office) and subscribe to
the district’s LISTSERV e-mail service.
