Emergency School Closing Information

The goal of the Lenape Regional High School District is to provide timely and accurate communication during school emergencies. Numerous agencies at the local, county, and state levels collaborate during these situations to ensure the safety of our students and staff and to provide information as quickly as possible to families and the community.

In the event of an incident, timely and accurate communication with parents and guardians is essential.  Students and parents are asked to avoid calling the school since all phones will be in use carrying out emergency closing procedures.

The LRHSD utilizes the following notification methods:

  
1. Notification System

   • Phone Message
   • Email
   • SMS Text Message*

The Notification System operates by using the contact information we have on file for you. If you did not receive the test alert, or if your contact information changes at any time, please contact your child's counselor to revise your information.  For more information about the notification system test, please reference the Security Drill Parent Letter. 

*Please note: Please be sure to check with your carrier; LRHSD does not pay for message and data chares that may be incurred by you for sending or receiving the text messages.
