A.W.Brown-Fellowship Charter School
FlashAlert InfoSignup for FLASHALERTStaff Members and ParentsThis system allows the District to communicate its emergencies, like weather closures, to its staff, employees and other interested subscribers DIRECTLY to their home computers and personal cell phones. In that way the staff and parents receive the emergency information at the same time that the news media does. Therefore, you will not have to sit in front of your home television set waiting to see if AW Brown Fellowship Charter School is closing. A closure message will come directly to your home devices within five minutes of being sent out. It also allows for announcement of non-closure emergency or information like electricity outages. AW Brown Fellowship Charter School would like for as many staff members and parents as possible to sign up to receive emergency information by this system. This is sign-up is voluntary; however, for the system to work adequately and get the information to as many persons as possible, we need as many staff members and households as possible to sign up for this process.
