Blackboard Mass Notifications
The Warren Hills Regional School District utilizes Blackboard's Mass Notification service for school closing, emergency, and event announcements. Parent and student contact information is synced from our Genesis SIS daily. Please utilize Parent Portal to ensure that your contact information is up to date.
The system also has the ability to send push notifications to your mobile device via our mobile app. Please visit Google Play or the App Store (iPhone) to download the WHRSD app. Our mobile app will give you quick access to district news, set your Blackboard Mass Notification contact preferences, and receive district push notifications.

FAQs
- If you are seeing past attendance notifications in the Blackboard Mass Notification web portal, please disregard them for now. The Attendance notifications will begin to be sent once the Honeywell Instant Alert system is shut down. Going forward, Blackboard Mass Notification will be delivering attendance notifications. The reason you see the messages in the web portal is the notification process is set up, but we have not turned on delivery yet until the old system is retired.
- If you have more than one student in the district, but only see one associated with your Blackboard Mass Notification parent account, this could be due to slight differences in the contact information in Genesis for your students. If you ensure that the contacts (including addresses/numbers marked as primary) are identical, Blackboard will merge the parent records into one for multiple students.
