Emergency Phone Notifications
Monroe Local Schools use a communication system to provide routine and emergency communications to families and staff. The types of notifications can include phone call, email, or text messaging. Messaging is sent through the system for regular building communication, calamity days, emergency notifications, and other district communications.
By registering a student and having our central office registration team approve their enrollment, your phone number and email are added to receive communications from the district student information system.
To add or revise contact information for Emergency Phone Notifications sent by the Monroe Local School District, please go to the OneView Portal where you can log in and select the call preferences and see previous messages for the Bright Arrow notifications.
If you are not receiving notifications, please check that system to ensure your contact information is accurate in the OneView Portal. In the event that your contact information is accurate but you didn't receive notifications please contact your school building office.
Frequently Asked Questions:
I receive a call but don't hear any message what should I do?
The system responds to a sound or greeting to know that it has reached a person, try saying something into the phone and the message should begin to play.
I receive a call and the message starts over midway through, what should I do?
There is a feature of the system trying to recognize if a voicemail greeting has started. That also is impacted by background noise. If you hit any number button on the phone that should notify the system you are a person and will play the message in its entirety.
