Zion's Telephone Broadcast Service In our effort to improve communication between parents and school, Zion Lutheran School has implemented a telephone broadcast system that will enable school personnel to notify all households and parents by phone within minutes of an emergency or unplanned event that causes early dismissal, school cancellation or late start. The service may also be used from time-to-time to communicate general announcements or reminders. This service is provided by SchoolReach, a company specializing in school-to-parent communications. If you have any questions, please contact the school office at zionschool@zlcs.org or 760-723-3500.
The Primary Contact Number will be used to call you every time we send a SchoolReach call, regardless of the urgency of the message. A cell phone number is recommended. (If there is a loss of power, land lines do not work).
The Secondary Contact Number will be called at the same time as the Primary Number on calls where the message we are sending is of a more urgent or time sensitive nature to ensure that we get the call to you as soon as possible.
Please consider these numbers carefully and make an effort to keep us informed as soon as possible if either number changes for any reason.
