On Saturday, August 19th, beginning at 5:00 pm, we will be testing SchoolMessenger, our Emergency Notification System. During this test, we will send a broadcast message to all phone numbers, email addresses, and text numbers that we currently have in our system for contacting you in the event of school closings, delays and other emergencies.

If you do not receive a phone call or email during this test, or if you wish to update the numbers/addresses where you wish to receive emergency messages, please log in to your Family Access account and click the "Skylert" tab on the left side. Skylert is where you will maintain your contact information for SchoolMessenger. You can get to Family Access using the link under the "Parents" menu above, or by clicking on the Skyward icon in the upper right.

If you cannot log in to your Family Access account, please call the KV IT Department at 219-987-8817, M-F, from 8:00am-3:00pm, for assistance.

The broadcast on Saturday is a test broadcast to make sure we have the correct contact information in our updated system, so that you are notified in the event of an actual closing, delay, or emergency.
