In the modern world, schools sometimes need to get information to parents as soon as possible. To facilitate this need, MSAD #22 has partnered with a rapid communication system called IRIS-Immediate Response Information System. This system will deliver emergency messages to parents individually by telephone and email. Should schools need to close early due to weather, for example, this system would notify you by home phone, cell phone, or email. In addition, schools may use the IRIS system to keep you up to date on important school wide information or changes relating to groups in which your child participates.

All students have been entered into the IRIS system. If your emergency contact information changes, please update your information by contacting your child's school.

Below are some of the benefits of IRIS.
