VIGO COUNTY, Ind. – Vigo County parents, are reminded that there’s a new way to keep up to date with your child’s school.

Earlier this month, the school system unveiled its new text alert system that will let you know about school delays, closings and more on your phone.

It’s a free service but you have to opt-in by texting  ‘yes’ to 67587.

Other school systems are making use of their Twitter accounts and Facebook pages.

North Central Parke Schools say that they are posting any announcements on Facebook and Twitter as soon as information is available.They also have their own phone and text messaging service.

If you have not been notified, check with your child’s school to see what services they offer.
