Term 4, Week 1

Tsunami Warning Testing

On Tuesday afternoon we conducted a trial using the Text Alert function within the Hero app.
by Janine Chapman

One of the many benefits of the Hero app is that it gives us the ability to send a school-wide text alerts to all primary caregivers of currently enrolled students.  We were happy with how quick and easy it was to send a single text alert to so many caregivers in one go.  

Thank you to the parents that responded and provided feedback.  One thing that became clear to us based on this feedback was that there wasn't any indication that the text had come from Parkview Pārua.  We now know that in the event of any emergency to clearly state that the text is coming from the school.

It is important that we have up to date contact details for all parents/caregivers in the event we do ever need to send out a text alert.  If your contact details have changed at all please get in touch with the office so we can update our records.  

Thanks for your support with this.
