Communications Tools

All mass communications are sent through Finalsite's Messages XRE. This system is used for standard and emergency communications, which are automatically translated into each family’s preferred language. Here are a few tips to ensure you receive the most benefit from the system:

• Parent and guardian contact information is updated from our student information system, and staff information is updated through our staff information system each night. If your information is outdated in our informational systems, it will be outdated in the mass notification system.
• If you’re a parent/guardian who needs to update your contact information, please contact your student’s school for the change. If you’re a staff member who needs to update your contact information, please contact Human Resources for the change.
• Our system allows us to send messages as phone calls, emails, and text messages. General outreach messages are usually sent as phone calls and emails. Emergency messages will be sent out using all methods.
• While we DO NOT recommend it, you do have the ability to opt out of non-emergency phone messages, all text messages, and all emails.  Non-emergency phone messages are categorized as messages not related to student safety.
• You MAY NOT opt out of emergency phone messages. This is for the benefit of your student. Emergency message examples are: school closures, early releases, evacuations, etc. (Note: Automated attendance calls are considered emergency messages as they pertain to student safety and therefore, cannot be opted out of).
