Community Connection

The Community Connection is a great way to stay abreast of what is going on at school. It is an e-mail or cell phone text-messaging service provided by Farmer's Bank.
At the school, we frequently communicate changes in daily schedules and sports activities through the Community Connection, and we plan to continue to increase the number and types of messages that we send out.
If you would like to instantly know when we have cancelled a game, postponed an activity, if a bus is arriving back home early or late, or if school will be let out early for snow, then the Community Connection is for you!
We also post such messages on the school's phone extension #500 (call 947-3361 and enter extension 500). However, the Community Connection service brings the information to you without any effort on your part except the initial sign-up. It is free, and you may sign up for the service at www.onlinefarmersbank.com.
The flyer printed by Farmer's Bank states that it might cost extra for U.S. Cellular customers, but in my personal experience it has not increased my monthly bill or caused any extra headache from U.S. Cellular whatsoever.
