To place an emergency call to send out to students and staff, click on the phone in the top right corner of the screen.
Next, select either Student or Staff.
This will skip having to browse the navigation panel of JCampus and go directly to Setup Box 1 described below. The only staff members that have permission to make Emergency call(s), which is hard coded in the JCall system, are Admin (AD and 700), Principals (PR, S0), Assistant Principals (AP), and Superintendent (SI). A 911 call manually cannot be input when creating a new message and is only available through the emergency call button.
