 Now is a great time to take a second and be sure that all of your information in the Honeywell Instant Alert System is current - phone numbers, etc.
Simply go to District 47's website and locate the Honeywell 'icon' on the home page (column on the right side). Then click the box and follow the prompts to either "set up" or "edit" your information.
For the families that may be new to West School, the Instant Alert system is a way for District 47 to convey information to every D47 family via phone and/or email. For example, this system is used if there is inclement weather and schools are closed during the winter time.
