Community Members: Subscribe to District Electronic Newsletters!

District 15 uses an e-newsletter platform to communicate with parents and the community. In order to include community members in our message distribution, those interested in receiving e-newsletters need to sign up to receive Blackboard Communications. This includes all community members who may have previously subscribed to district communications. Please note, all District 15 staff members and parents are automatically included in Blackboard communications.

Once the form is submitted, you will need to click the verification link in the email sent to you from Blackboard (ParentLink), thanking you for creating a Blackboard account. 

District 15 uses the Blackboard communication system to notify parents via phone, text, email, and the D15 mobile app. All parents and staff are automatically enrolled. 

Please ensure your contact information listed in Infinite Campus' Campus Parent portal is accurate. If it is not accurate, you can update your contact information in Infinite Campus. Infinite Campus is linked to the District’s Blackboard communication system. If you have any difficulty logging in or making changes to your contact information in Infinite Campus, please contact your child's school office.

If your email address is correct, but you are not receiving emails from the district/schools, first check your email's spam/junk folder to ensure Blackboard communications are not landing there. If they are, you'll need to mark them "not spam." If you have unsubscribed your email from Blackboard communications, you will need to contact your child's school and ask for your email account to be unblocked, removing the Do Not Contact order. This will lift the Do Not Contact order for ALL schools your family is associated with.
