Parents and Students:

Hudson Area Schools will be using a new school-to-parent communication service called AlertNow. With AlertNow, we will be able to deliver important information to you quickly and reliably. You will be receiving these messages periodically to notify you about important events, such as parent-teacher conferences, Parent Group and Booster meetings, back-to-school nights, fundraisers, and report card reminders. With this service we will also be able to reach you promptly in the event of an urgent matter, school closing or delay.

In addition to phone and e-mail messages we are excited to offer the opportunity for you to sign up for emergency SMS text messages from Hudson Area Schools through the AlertNow notification system. Text message fees may apply, depending on your cell phone provider. Opt-in to this service by going to https://www.alertnowsms.com complete the user agreement and enter the following PIN: HudsonTigers

Please make sure that if your phone number or email address changes during the school year that you notify your child's school immediately.

What you need to know about receiving calls sent through ALERTNOW

• Caller ID will display the school’s main number when general announcement is delivered.

• Caller ID will display 411 if the message is a dire emergency.

• ALERTNOW will leave a message on any answering machine or voicemail.

• If the ALERTNOW message stops playing, press 1 and the message will replay from the beginning.

I want you to know that it is an honor and a privilege to serve as your child’s Superintendent and to be entrusted with your child’s safety and education. There are many exciting initiatives underway here at Hudson Area Schools and I look forward to keeping you involved through the AlertNow communication service.

Sincerely,

Mike Osborne, Superintendent
