With the winter season in full swing, Tippecanoe Valley staff members, parents, and students are reminded of the ways to receive school delay and closing information.

School Messenger

• Students are automatically registered to School Messenger based upon the primary contact information provided in Chalkable(STI). New students and any updated primary numbers are automatically uploaded to School Messenger daily.
• New staff members are added when they complete their New Employee Enrollment package and turn it into the TVSC Administration Office.
• If a parent would like to have a different or additional number called (they are allowed up to 5 different numbers), then they must call TVSC Director of Technology Keith Lang at (574) 598-2759 and ask for the number(s) to be added. They must include with the number(s), the name(s) of their student(s), their grade level, and the school.
• If a staff member would like to have an additional number added to the call list, they need to send an email to Mr. Lang’s attention indicating the number(s) they wish to receive calls at and the primary building in which they work.

The School Messenger system is a service TVSC provides for school employees and its students.  If someone from outside of these two lists would like to be informed of a closing, TVSC recommends that they listen to the local media outlets to which TVSC provides delay/cancellation information, or sign up for one of their texting services.  The media outlets are:
