An emergency alert system designed specifically for private and parochial schools in New York City will debut as part of the city’s broader Notify NYC network. The system, previously delayed ahead of the World Cup, will allow schools to send critical alerts directly to parents and guardians during emergencies. It expands the city’s existing notification infrastructure, which already covers public schools, to include non-public institutions. The launch aims to enhance safety communication for families in these educational settings.


Silenced ahead of the World Cup, an emergency notification system for private and parochial schools will launch Tuesday as part of Notify NYC.
