Upon logging in parents/guardians are asked to please review and update both your general and emergency contact information. By verifying that all of your contact information is up to date, you will ensure that the District is able to contact you when needed.

The general contact information that you provide will be used to notify you of school closings/delays, school activities, important dates, parent/student events, etc., through the District’s telephone/e-mail notification system. (Note: Phone calls from the District will display on Caller ID devices as coming from the District’s main phone number 724-625-1518. Calls from individual school buildings will list that school’s main phone number. The “from” address in all e-mail messages from the District/schools will end in “@marsk12.org.”)

Emergency information may used to contact you and/or those you designate as emergency contacts (e.g. grandparent, aunt, uncle, trusted neighbor, etc.) in the event of a true District and/or school emergency. This information may also be called upon in a student-related emergency in the event that you, as parent/guardian, cannot be immediately reached.
