AJ Emergency Text Group

The safety department is signing parents up for the Remind app to be used to distribute emergency information about the Andrew Jackson area schools. This will allow us another emergency communication tool if we have a need to evacuate our buildings, have a natural disaster, or have a criminal act on or around school grounds that threatens the welfare of students and staff. The distribution of information to parents is vital in an emergency. Please use the link below to opt in to the text list. This is voluntary. Your numbers are not shared with us as a safety precaution for your privacy. -Bryan Vaughn, Safety Director, LCSD
