Would you

Sign up
for IowaSchool
Alerts - a FREE
e-mail notification service provided by the State of
Iowa!
Riverside Community School
District is a participant in the Iowa School Alerts program,
which means you can sign up to receive free e-mail notifications
when classes for our district, or a particular school building, are
to be closed, dismissed early or started late due to weather or
other circumstances.
How to Sign
Up
- Click
on "Sign Up!" in the Main Menu at https://schoolalerts.iowa.gov. This will take you to the "Enterprise A&A"
screen for the State of Iowa. If you already have an account with
the State (say, for another online application), there's no need to
create another one.
- Follow the on-screen
instructions to enter your name and e-mail address, and create
secret questions and your password. This step involves obtaining a
code from an e-mail sent to you to confirm your
registration.
- Once you have created and
confirmed your account registration, you will be taken back to the
School Alerts site where you can click on "My Subscriptions" to add
the school districts/buildings you would like to receive notices
for. Once you've selected a school, you are asked to enter the
e-mail addresses or cell phone addresses where you would like
notifications sent. You can add as many e-mail addresses as you'd
like! (Please note that some
wireless services providers may charge you for receiving e-mails or
text messages. You are responsible for those charges.)
That's it! After signing
up you will receive e-mail notifications directly from the school
whenever classes are cancelled. You can review your alert settings
and all current notifications for the state at any time by visiting
the Iowa School Alerts website: https://schoolalerts.iowa.gov.
Frequently Asked
Questions
How much does it
cost?
There is no charge to
sign up for Iowa School Alerts. Funding has been provided by the
IOWAccess Advisory Council, which seeks to bring more e-government
services to the citizens of Iowa. Please note, however, that you
are responsible for any fees charged by your wireless provider for
receiving messages on your cell phone.
How does it
work?
Your school logs in from
any computer with an Internet connection and creates one message,
which is then sent to everyone who has signed up to receive notices
for the affected school district/buildings. Media outlets, day care
providers, school staff and others are also being encouraged to
sign up for notices. The computer application was designed by staff
at the Iowa Department of Administrative Services.
Who do I contact
with questions?
