Phone Call Opt-out

Automated Phone Call Opt-Out

The Yakima School district may occasionally contact families through an automated phone call system. Under federal regulation, you have the option to opt-out of receiving these calls. If you would like to opt-out, continue reading below. Alternatively, you may be able to reduce the number of calls you get by modifying your delivery preferences in ParentLink.

To submit an official request to have a phone number removed from our automated call list, please fill out and submit the online opt-out form available here:

Opt-out Request Form

Please note:

• Only one request should be submitted per phone number
• Requests may take up to 24 hours to be processed
  • Please contact the district office at (509) 573-7000 if you continue to receive calls
• Opting out of automated calls does NOT remove a phone number from the emergency contact list
  • Attendance (absence) calls classify as emergency calls
