New Hanover County Schools has adopted the ALERTNOW Notification Service which will allow us to send a telephone or e-mail message to you providing important information about school events or emergencies. We anticipate using ALERTNOW to notify you of school delays or cancellations due to inclement weather, as well as remind you about various events, including report card distribution, testing, and more. What do you need to know about receiving calls sent through ALERTNOW? *ALERTNOW will leave a message on any answering machine or voicemail. If the ALERTNOW message stops playing, press any key 1-9 and the message will replay from the beginning. *The successful delivery of information is dependent upon accurate contact information for each student, so please make certain that we have your most current phone numbers.
