Good morning,
As was stated in the annual Security Reminder that was sent at the end of August, the Clark Schools and Clark Police have partnered with P3 Campus to provide a reporting tool for life safety concerns. Please see the link below to the reporting form for this service. A flyer containing a QR code to this form is posted on the district website at www.clarkschools.org under the “More” tab towards the top right of that page and then the “Security” sub-tab. This flyer will also be posted on each school’s website. This platform is one for our students, staff, and community members to communicate with us and the local police department regarding any life safety concerns. We ask for the detail provided through the form to be as thorough as possible so that the concern can be effectively followed up on.
Thank you in advance for your respect for this platform as another means of keeping our students, staff, and schools safe. Please know that all reports are filtered directly to the Clark Police Department, and false reports will be handled in the same manner that a false 911 call would be handled.
This service will be in place at the end of the workday today (Wednesday, November 8).
Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day.

Thank you and be well.

Submission of the below plan is a requirement of the New Jersey Department of Education. The Board of Education still has no intent to transition to such a model. The strong commitment of the Board of Education is and will continue to be to traditional in-person student school days.

Good afternoon,
Next Thursday (January 20) at 4 p.m., you will be receiving a text message from our district's SchoolMessenger short code number 67587. If you would like to begin receiving text messages in addition to phone calls and emails from SchoolMessenger, please respond to this text message with Y or YES. If for some reason you miss this text message, a flyer containing a QR code that will allow you to opt in after next Thursday at 4 p.m. is attached below. The QR code can only be used after next Thursday at that time. Parents/guardians, please make certain that your cell phone numbers are updated within Genesis prior to the end of the day next Tuesday (the 18th) as Genesis "speaks" to SchoolMessenger each evening and only phone numbers that are within Genesis will be able to receive text messages, even if the QR code is used.
Thank you for your cooperation. Enjoy the rest of the day ahead.
