RSU 57 sends alerts to parents and guardians for many situations such as events, special days, approaching days off, cancellations due to weather, and more. There are multiple ways to receive district or school alerts. Choose what is right for you!
Telephone, SMS, and Email
The RSU 57 alert system places phone call announcements or SMS messages (sometimes it will be both) to phone numbers for the guardians of the student as listed in Synergy/ParentVUE. Some alerts are accompanied by an email version of the information. Like phone numbers, email addresses are pulled from Synergy/ParentVUE for the guardians.
To update contact information in Synergy/ParentVUE, login to the application and click on the My Account button in the upper right hand corner. Update the information necessary and click on the blue Update Account button when complete.
RSU 57 Mobile App
