Albemarle County Schools has a system to keep parents, families and employees notified of major events within the school division. This system uses phone and email to send messages and has two levels: Emergency and General messages.

Emergency messages are sent when there are early dismissals that occur duing the school day, cancellations or in the event of a crisis situation at a school.

General messages could include such items as inclement weather calls(school closed or delayed openings), late buses, reminders of important school events, or information about an event at school that is not of an emergency nature but that school officials believe families would want more information about (ex: an extended fire drill at school, a building evacuation, new traffic pattern, etc.)

Parents have the opportunity to sign up for the Emergency Notification System when they register their child for school, and yearly when they review registration and contact information in August. If a parent would like to enroll in the Emergency Notification System, or if they have changes to their contact information for Emergency Notification purposes, they should contact their child's school(s) to provide current phone numbers and email addresses.

Questions? If you have a question, please email esns@k12albemarle.org or contact your child's school.
