This month, my update is an audio conversation with KROC AM radio from late January. We talked about several topics on Rochester Today, including - snow days, strategic planning, and the cell phone policy change.

Enjoy the update.

Skylert
Rochester Public Schools is using Skylert as its district-wide emergency notification system. Skylert provides the district with the ability to quickly send mass communication via phone, SMS text message, and e-mail for such things as snow emergencies.

If you are a staff member or a community member and would like to sign up for Skylert, sign up here. If you are a parent or guardian of a student in the district, please continue to use the Skyward Family Access link to sign up for emergency alert messages or to modify your settings.

If you would like to modify your settings, please follow these instructions:
  • Log in to Skyward Family Access from the tab at the left of this page.
  • Click on Skylert on the left navigation bar. Your Skylert settings will display.
  • To make Skylert notification changes, click Edit on the right of the screen. Skylert settings are specific to each child in your family.
  • Select the type of notification you would like to receive for each phone number you enter. For example, if you do not wish to receive Emergency notifications via telephone (for snow days, etc), de-select the check box for Emergencies.
  • Do the same for emails and text message until you have your notifications specified as needed.
