Huntley 158 uses the SwiftReach SwiftK12 mass notification system to communicate with families via phone, text, and email. Swiftreach is used to communicate emergency situations, school closures, absence notifications, and general/routine communications from the District and its schools. SwiftK12 is integrated within PowerSchool and families can manage their contact information and communication preferences through the PowerSchool Parent Portal.
Note: If you need help logging into PowerSchool, please email [email protected].

Managing Your Messaging Preferences
You can choose your communication preferences based on message category by clicking Alert Preferences within Swiftreach.

Additional Important Information
Emails sent by the District and its schools include an “unsubscribe” link at the bottom. If you complete the unsubscribe process using this link, you will no longer receive any messages from the District of D158 schools. For this reason, we encourage you to use the messaging preferences in Swiftreach rather than opting out of all email communication. If you accidentally unsubscribe and wish to receive emails from the District and schools, please contact Denise Barr, director of communications and public engagement, at [email protected].
