Results from Emergency Test Call on Oct 27th.

On Oct 27th at 7pm, we tested our emergency notification system by sending a test message to all parents and staff.  So how did the test go?. Overall, the results look really good. Here’s some quick stats related to the test call.

10 minutes = amount of time it takes to make the initial contact with all families.

10,982 =  total number of people that it contacts during that time.

During that time, here’s how many contacts were made:

• Over 13,000 phone calls
• 2,600 text messages
• 8,900 emails
