Overview

The district issues a rapid call for weather delays and closings, emergencies and other unusual circumstances to notify parents and guardians via phone, text and email.

Please keep your information up to date in the Sapphire Community Portal. We do not encourage families to opt-out of the rapid call, as we use it sparingly. However, if you have a concern about receiving calls, please contact the Director of Communications at 724-625-7773, ext. 6202.
