Información en español
There are many reasons why your school or the District may need to notify you. We are always striving to seek the right balance of making sure you are kept informed – in the most useful way – and not overwhelming you. Below are both some of the common reasons we will communicate with you and the methods by which we will reach out to you. As always, our ability to communicate with you is only as good as the information we have. Please be sure to keep your phone number and e-mail address current in our Synergy Student Information System, which you can access through ParentVUE.
Reasons why we may contact you:
- Daily attendance calls
- Inclement weather
- Emergencies
- Safety incidents
- Regular communication from your child’s school (e.g. principal newsletter)
- Event reminders (e.g. conferences)
- Other

Flash Alert Emergency Notification System

Eugene School District 4J uses an Internet-based service for weather-related school closure information and to relay important information to the public in the event of an emergency. The public can sign-up for Flash Alerts to receive emergency alert messages via push notifications to your mobile device through the Flash Alert app. Click on the link to be directed to the site for Lane County School District and select Eugene 4J for messages. Flash Alert is also the system we use to send out press releases for important events or accomplishments within the District.
