Q. What is SNN?

A. School News Notifier (SNN) is an opt-in e-mail alert system for which parents and residents can sign up to receive e-mail alerts from the district. With SNN, district and school officials have the power to send updates and reminders about school and district activities or information about emergency school closings and delays. Users can choose to receive any or all of the alerts, and they can unsubscribe at any time. All e-mail addresses will be kept confidential.

Q. How do I sign up?

A. Go to the SNN home page and create a profile. You will be asked to fill in your name, your e-mail address and to select a password. Once you create your profile, you will be asked to select which alerts you would like to receive. Once you choose your alerts and click subscribe you will be all set! (You can change your selected alerts at anytime by logging in to the system.)
