The Central Bucks School District is pleased to announce that we are now able to provide text messaging for emergency school closings, delayed openings, and early dismissals via SMS text messaging to mobile phones.
Regulations require that text messages can only be sent to recipients who have subscribed to receive these messages. Therefore, Central Bucks School District will not send an SMS message to any phone that is not in the list of subscribed phone numbers.
If you would like to receive these text messages, please do the following:
Ensure your school has your cell phone number on file. Parents that have completed the Census Verification Forms for their children and provided their cell phone numbers will already have those numbers in our database. Parents can also review the cell phone the school has on file by reviewing their demographic information on the Parent Portal under Family>Family Members.
If the school does not have your cell phone number on file, request that the number be added through your child’s school. Wait at least 24 hours before trying to join.
From your cell phone, text the word Join to the number 56360
If our messaging system finds a match for your number in its database, you will receive a confirmation message thanking you for joining School Alerts.
At any time, you can unsubscribe by texting Stop to 56360.
Create a contact on your phone for Central Bucks School District or another meaningful name, with the phone number 56360. This will insure you can identify texts coming from Central Bucks School District.
