Cedar Hill ISD has elected to use a program called FlashAlert provided by Region 10 for informing both faculty and parents about issues and events that occur in the district.  This will be especially useful for emergency communications such as early school closings, storm alerts, and such events.  To make the process work, we need as many parents and staff members to register as a participant in the system as possible.  Registration is REALLY simple.  You can receive messages by cell phone and computer, but you must register by computer to receive your annual updates from the vendor and tests of the system.

Here is the process for registering:

(1)  Log on to the internet and access http://www.flashalert.net/

(2)  On the map, click on the Dallas/Ft. Worth button.

(3)  On the list, click on Dallas/Ellis Co. Schools.

(4)  On the list, click on Cedar Hill ISD.

(5)  Enter an e-mail address for your home computer (or the computer you choose) in the box.

(6)  Make sure the box is checked in front of Emergency Alerts and click on the Subscribe button.

NOTE:  Prior to clicking the Subscribe button, you may click on 'Follow our Flash alerts via Twitter' to receive district information in that way.  Follow the direction online to add Cedar Hill ISD to your Twitter account or to create a Twitter account. After you have created your Twitter account, return to this screen and start at Step #6.

(7)  Re-enter your e-mail address and create a MEMORABLE password (there is password recovery should you forget it).

(8)  Select Dallas/Ft. Worth/North Central TX from the first list and Dallas & Ellis Co. Schools from the second list.

(9)  Enter additional devices (computers or cell phones as directed).

(10)  Click on the RED test message to send a test to your devices.  You are now registered.

You should receive announcements from Cedar Hill ISD by e-mail and cell phone texting.  You must be able to receive text messages to get cell phone notifications.  If you also added Cedar Hill ISD to your Twitter account, you will receive these messages that way as well. 

Thank you for registering to help Cedar Hill ISD keep its parents and staff more informed and up-to-date should emergencies occur.
