To opt into the system follow the following three simple steps:

1) Download the OCDEalert client by clicking here at computer(s) where you want to receive the alerts.  (Perhaps both home and the office).

Note: You are downloading a program called "ocdealert.exe" If you have trouble you may not have the access rights to download a program on this computer and must ask your system administrator to allow your organization to download the program.

2) Register. At the registration screen you will add additional venues of communication such as your mobile phone for SMS (text messages), your email, etc. You will also pick the appropriate group you will be a part of for targeted messages (i.e. 1st grade, baseball team, AGT, etc).

3) Put name and password that you just created into the alert box, click save password to make sure you will not exit the system when you turn off your computer - use the menu on the lient to change your profile or alert receiving options.

If you move or change phone numbers simply log into the system and update your information – this will serve as your update for school records.

3) Log into the alert.
