Iowa School Alerts allows you to sign up and receive notifications when a school or school district closes, has a delayed start or an early dismissal. There are two ways to receive notifications: * E-mail alerts - Receive e-mail notices when a school or school district you are interested in delays starting or closes early. Do you have multiple e-mail addresses or more than one person who should be notified? Do you want to keep a watch on multiple school buildings or districts? No problem! With Iowa School Alerts you can have notifications sent to as many e-mail addresses or e-mail-enabled device addresses as you would like, for as many schools or districts as you like. * RSS Feed - Iowa School Alerts provides a Rich Site Summary (RSS) feed for websites that wish to give their site users a comprehensive list of notifications. This is a great way for the media, communities and school-related organizations to publish notifications on their own website. https://schoolalerts.iowa.gov/ --- Tim Buenz Director of Technology Jefferson-Scranton Comm.
