Blackboard Mass Notifications

  • NAPLS uses Blackboard for our Mass Notification System. Notices such as school closings/delays, attendance, cafeteria balance and other district and school messages will be communicated via phone, email and text messaging.  

    Blackboard uses data from PowerSchool. Any person marked as a guardian to a NAPLS student will have their phone number, cell phone number and email address used for notifications. It is important that parents/guardians verify and update their contact information in PowerSchool.

    Parents/Guardians will receive an email with their login ID, password and instructions for accessing the Blackboard Notification System. We encourage parents/guardians to log on to the system to make sure personal contact information is correct. Updates can be made by contacting our district registrar at wc@napls.us. Parents/Guardians may also customize their account at that time.

    Please visit https://napls.parentlink.net/ to login or login using the NAPLS mobile app by clicking on the “Login” icon.

    Account Customization
    Parents/Guardians can set delivery preferences on how they want to be notified.

    Parents/Guardians are required to have at least one valid phone/text number and email for emergency and attendance messages. Please note, after hours weather related school closings/delays are not emergency messages and fall under the “other” category. If you choose not to receive “other” notifications you will not receive these notifications.
