Staying In Touch- Autodialer and Text Messages

Just a reminder to parents that its important that we have up-to-date and accurate phone numbers. As you’ve noticed, we are now using our autodialer to call families directly when there is a late opening or a closure. If you change your phone number or other contact information, please let us know.

We’ve also had a few people ask about text messages. VES has a text messaging system through Remind.com that families can sign up for. It’s an anonymous system in that we don’t see the phone number you sign up with- just whatever name you put into the system. We regularly use the text messaging system to update parents about school events including late openings and closures. We also use it to remind families about general school events like picture day, family nights, dress up days, etc.  You can sign up for text messages at the following link:
