DPS uses Thrillshare Alerts to send emergency messages to parent and guardian contacts, as well as high school students who have signed up to receive them. These messages include text, email and phone communications related to school closures, early releases or late starts, as well as messages about lockdowns or lockouts.

Families will receive messages based on the preferences they set in Infinite Campus (IC), including contact method and language preferences. To adjust your preferences, log in to your Parent Portal or Student Portal account.
