	District to use ALERTNOW Notification Service as an additional communication tool between the school district and parents--Keeping parents informed is a top priority of the Bethel Park School District, and we will be using the ALERTNOW Notification Service to send telephone and/or email messages to parents and/or employees to notify them of things such as school delays or cancellations due to inclement weather, and important school events/information, as well as emergencies.
