East Penn Parents: You Can Add 2 'Alert Now' Phone Numbers

Parents can now list up to three phone numbers they want the district to call in case of emergency.

In response to parents' requests for better access to information, East Penn School District Superintendent Thomas Seidenberger announced a change to the district's parent notification system.

Parents now can list up to three phone numbers on the "Alert Now Emergency Contact phone number," Seidenberger said at Monday's school board meeting.

Up to now parents could list home or school or a cell phone number, and now they can list all three, he said.
