    Automated Calling System

    District #95 has implemented an automated calling system to notify parents/guardians of school closings. If you have not been receiving these calls, please contact CMS at 457-2174 to be sure we have a correct phone number listed for your child.

    This system is also used to notify parents of their child's absence. Excused and unexcused students will receive a call. If you have called in to excuse your child, please disregard the call. If you believe you have received a call in error, please call us at 457-2174, ext. 2602.

    Be sure to update address and emergency contact/pick-up information if it changes from what you enter at registration.
