Community High School District 155

Honeywell Instant Alert® System Instructions

Community High School District 155 will use the Instant Alert® automated calling system from Honeywell to contact parents with urgent messages such as school cancelations. The system will always call the primary number given to the school at the time of registration. Generally, this is the student's home phone number.

The system allows individual parent-users to customize how they would like to be contacted beyond this main number. For instance, a parent can choose to receive the message on his or her mobile or work phone or by SMS text message.
