Dear JCHS Parents: 

 

           

In May, a letter was emailed to parents that explained the Caldwell-West Caldwell School district’s new contract with The Calling Post emergency notification system.  The Calling Post is a computerized telephone calling system.  In the event of an emergency, the system will be activated by a district administrator and a phone message will be sent to the two emergency phone numbers you have submitted to the school on your family’s yellow emergency contact information card.  The system will only be activated during emergency and/or crisis situations.  As of today, 100% participation has not been achieved.  Since we strongly believe that this system will allow us to contact parents quickly and efficiently, we are offering another opportunity for parents to supply contact information.   

 

Most of you filled out and returned emergency cards that we keep on file at James Caldwell High School.  The cards contain home and work telephone numbers for us to use in case of an emergency.  We will use the contact information on those cards for those families who did not originally “sign-up” for the Calling Post in May.   Mrs. Rischitelli is the receptionist who maintains our email and telephone database.  If you prefer that we use another phone number that is NOT listed on the emergency card, please send an email to her email address, which is Mrischitelli@cwcboe.org . 

 

It is our intent to download all of our telephone number data at the close of school on Tuesday, October 16, 2007.   If you have already submitted your phone number(s) through our website last spring, you do not need to resubmit them.  Please note that it is your responsibility to notify the school if your phone number changes and needs to be updated

 

             

Sincerely,

           

 

Kevin M. Barnes, Ed.D.
