Emergency Authorization & Contact Information

As of September 2024, our district uses a Notification System to provide timely communication to parents and staff members on matters such as district emergencies and general interest activities. 

All registered students are automatically entered in the Notification System with their Guardian's Genesis listed phone number and email address. Should you wish to change your contact information, please do that directly in the Genesis Parent Portal.

Parents must keep their child's emergency authorization information up-to-date in Genesis Parent Access. This information is used to contact you or your authorized designee should an emergency arise.

Strategies for successful communications:
  • Make sure your parent email and phone numbers are updated in the Genesis Parent Portal.
  • Best strategy is to set up a separate contact for each guardian. If the child has two or more guardians, please set up seperate contact cards, one for each.
