NewsFlash
This is a very important feature of our classroom website. Below you will
see a bar to click if you would like to enter your e-mail or cell phone
number. If a situation arises that I need to get in touch with you
immediately, you will receive an e-mail or text message that says, "Please
see the important news bulletin." All e-mails/texts are "blind copied" so
the only e-mail address/phone number you will see will be your own.

I would use this feature if school is dismissed early (due to weather, etc.)
or if there is something I need to tell every parent (fieldtrip info., last
minute info., etc.).
