Parent Contact System, to notify you of important information. 

Please know that your child's safety is our primary concern.  Your help with 
accurate names and numbers on your emergency contact information is 
absolutely necessary to us.  Your safety is also of great importance to us 
so do not panic over these emergency closings.  We will never put your child
