School Alerts PDF Print E-mail
The Algona School District has signed up to take part in a new notification system offered by the State of Iowa called “Iowa School Alerts.”  This program gives parents, the media and others the opportunity to sign up to receive e-mail notifications directly when we have canceled classes, or will be dismissing early or starting late due to weather or other factors.  This service, which was developed by IT staff at the Department of Administrative services, is free of charge to you and the school.  The State funded the development of this program through the IOWAccess initiative, which seeks to bring more e-government services to the people of Iowa.  Because the system is funded and operated by the state, you can be assured that your e-mail addresses will not be sold to anyone and you will not receive advertisements or spam due to enrolling in the program.

Here’s how you take advantage of this free service and sign up for e-mail alerts:
1.    Click on “Sign Up!” in the Main Menu at https://schoolalerts.iowa.gov.  This will take you to the “Enterprise A&A” screen for the State of Iowa.  If you already have an account with the State (say for another online application), there’s no need to create another on.
2.    Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your name and e-mail address, and create secret questions and your password.  This step involves obtaining a code from an e-mail sent to you to confirm your registration.
3.    Once you have created and confirmed your account registration, you will be taken back to the School Alerts site where you can click on “My Subscriptions” to add the school districts/buildings you would like to receive notices for.  Once you’ve selected a school, you are asked to enter the e-mail addresses or cell phone addresses where you would like notifications sent.  You can add as many e-mail addresses as you’d like! (please note  that some wireless service providers may charge you for receiving e-mails or text messages.  You are responsible for those charges.)

We will still make sure that local media outlets are notified when there’s a change in our classes, so notices will still be made on the television and radio, but we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to be directly notified as well.

If you have any questions about signing up for Iowa School Alerts, please contact the school’s administration office (515-295-3528) or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
