On Saturday, October 5th, Beecher City CUSD #20 will be testing the new calling system for our district. This test will include phone calls, texts, and push notifications (School App) through the new school website. The recipient of the phone call will be the parent or guardian who receives mail from the school. With the phone calls, it may take a few seconds before you hear the recorded message, and the phone number that the call originates from will be the school phone number. If you have any questions, please email the unit office by contacting Kim Miller at kmiller@beechercity.org or Philip Lark at plark@beechercity.org.
