AKRON — The Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation announced that over the holiday break, all TVSC schools and facilities transitioned to a new Voice over IP phone system.

The new system is operational as of Tuesday, Jan. 5, replacing an aging phone system that can no longer be updated or, in many cases, repaired due to failure.

All phone numbers throughout the district have cha ged to a 598 prefix, making calls to any school local for most patrons.

The new numbers will be as follows:

• Akron Elementary School, (574) 598-2367
• Burket Educational Center, (574) 598-2600
• Mentone Elementary School, (574) 598-2590
• Tippecanoe Valley Middle School (574) 598-2200
• Tippecanoe Valley High School (574) 598-2100
• Tippecanoe Valley bus garage (574) 598-2490
• Tippecanoe Valley administration office (574) 598-2759

Staff phone extensions will also change.
