Recently, the Irvington Union Free School District decided to change the service it uses to relay emergency alerts throughout the District. The reason for this change is because the District is committed to having the most efficient way of communication.
The school will be switching from Send Word Now to a new data system called ParentSquare. This system is connected to other District data bases. Dr. Harrison stated that with with this new system “the contact information for each student’s family will remain current. Additionally, the system will allow the District and each school to send text messages to families to share important information.”
At a later date the district will begin to present new features that Parent Square offers such as the “distribution of newsletters.”
