Safety Alert Information

Alert Messages Who is contacted in an alert? We contact parent(s) and legal guardian(s). Do students’ emergency contacts receive alerts? We do not contact the emergency contact list, as that list is used for only when the student has an emergency and a parent or guardian cannot be reached. What is the method of contact? Messages are sent by text, email, and phone. When are messages sent? Messages are sent when an alert is needed. Why do multiple alerts occur? Multiple alerts happen for every child is under the parent or legal guardians care. Alerts will be received by text, email, and phone. Reminders: If your phone number has changed, please let the office know immediately so we can change our information. We will also post messages on the Savage Facebook and Website.

Alert Solutions

Dear Parent(s),

We implemented a school notification system called Alert Solutions. This notification system is loaded with new features that will make it easier for us to keep in contact with your family. To guarantee the messaging system is used efficiently, we will need to confirm your contact information is accurate and up-to-date at all times.

Alert Solutions allows our school to send messages using email, voice, and text messaging. Voice calls will be sent with 406-776-2317 as the caller ID number. You may want to add this phone number to your address book to help you recognize incoming calls from the school easily. Text messages will be sent using a caller ID of 95664 (US) or 25379 (Canada). International receipt caller IDs will vary on location. You may want to add this phone number to your address book as well. Please note you will not be able to reply to text messages sent from the school.

Alert Solutions is integrated with the existing PowerSchool Parent Portal. If you log-on to the Parent Portal you will now see a new link called “Alert Solutions 2”. You will be able to see all the contact information our school has listed for you. Within this section of the Parent Portal, you will also be able to choose your communication preferences based on message category, such as School Closures or Attendance, and message type (email, voice and/or text message). You may opt-out of any message category except for Emergency Messages.

Setting up your parent preferences is your responsibility. To receive text messages, you must go to Preferences by Message Type and Click and hold to drag the contact information above to the appropriate boxes below. By default, phone calls and email are chosen. You will receive messages to every contact field shown and every message category that has all three message types chosen. Tolls and charges associated with receipt of messages from the school are your responsibility and not the responsibility of the school. Please be sure to set your unique preferences if there are any numbers or addresses you do not like to be contacted at. All phone numbers and email addresses must be in a valid format to save properly.

Emergency messages are always sent with all three message types (email, text, and voice calls) and to every contact field shown even if you have opted out. We cannot change this. Emergency messages will be labeled as such so you will know it is an actual emergency.

If you do not have access to log into the Parent Portal, you may contact the school directly to request changes.

If you have any questions, please contact your child's school. We hope you appreciate this new school notification system and the flexibility it will provide for you as a parent.

Checking Your Students Grades and Attendance

Dear Parents,
Savage Public School believes that increased communication between school and home increases the productivity and academic success of each student. One tool we use is our student information system called Power School which allows you to track your child’s grades, absences, and tardiness on a daily basis. Your child will have his or her own log in and password and you, as their parent, will have yours. The URL for this site is:
savage.powerschool.com
(There is always a tab in the upper left hand column on the home page of this website that is for Power School login.)

If you do not know your log-in or your child’s log-in, contact the school office so we can assist you.

It is our goal to serve the students and parents of Savage School.

Excitement is in the AIR

New Rules and Regulations coming soon!

Students need to be left at home if they are sick so that others don't catch what they have, and so the student can get well. If a student has a fever, is vomiting, has had diarrhea in the last 24 hours, has a body rash with itching or fever, an itchy head with active head lice, an eye infection, or has been to the hospital and been in the ER, please keep your student at home until they are better.
