Dubuque
Community Schools is participating with Iowa School Alerts. This is the
most efficient way to be notified of school delays and cancellations on
your personal communication device. It allows subscribers to receive
alerts automatically via cellphone, pager, Blackberry and e-mail. How to Sign Up
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
