Nationwide Cellphone Emergency Test
Principals –
At 1:18 p.m. Central time TODAY there will be a nationwide ‘presidential alert” test of all cellphones. This is the first nationwide test of the wireless emergency alert system. The only way to NOT receive this test is to turn off your phone.
You might want to take a moment to notify your staff and students, as appropriate, so that no one things there is a real emergency. Again, this is just a test and the message should read ‘THIS IS A TEST OF THE NATIONAL WIRELESS EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM. NO ACTION IS NEEDED.’
We have nothing to do with this test. If you don’t receive it you might want to contact your cellphone service provider.
