An E-mail Notification System
for
Staff and Parents of the
Ellington Public Schools

This free e-mail notification service is provided to you by the Connecticut Weather Center, Inc. to enable you to receive notification when weather related cancellations, announcements, or other notifications have been posted by any of the participating educational institutions, libraries, organizations, and businesses. Ellington, as well as many other school districts throughout the state, participates in using the CT Weather Center for posting weather and non-weather related essential announcements. Now you can be notified at work or home if Ellington posts an important information announcement. Weather related announcements would post cancellations of schools meetings or activities, delayed openings and early dismissals. Non-weather related essential announcements might post special events, report cards being sent home, essential deadlines.

The e-mail notification system will inform you of the posting and link you to the Center's home page. One click on "Cancellations" and a second click on "Schools" will bring you to the posted message.
