The Schalmont School News Notifier (SNN) e-mail alert system has been upgraded with a new feature: text messaging. Those who subscribe to the emergency school closings and delays SNN alert can now add a cell phone number to their account so they can receive such alerts as both text and e-mail messages.

To sign up to receive text messages about emergency school closings and delays on your cell phone:

• Current subscribers – Visit https://snn.neric.org/schalmont/, log in with your e-mail address and password, complete the “cell phone number” and “carrier” profile options, and click “Update Profile.”
• New subscribers – Visit https://snn.neric.org/schalmont/, complete all of the profile options, and click “Create New Profile.”

Once a valid cell phone number and a carrier are on file for a subscriber, that subscriber will receive any future text messages about emergency school closings and delays. As with the typical SNN e-mail alerts, this is an opt-in system. Subscribers can log in to change or remove their cell phone number or to unsubscribe to SNN at any time.
