Why does BCSD use a notification system?
An automated
notification system will allow us to send important messages to parents
and guardians within a matter of minutes via phone and e-mail in the
event of an emergency on or near the school district campus. Examples of
incidents include a school closing, evacuation or lockdown.
What should I do if I receive a call or e-mail?
If
you receive an emergency notification message, please listen to the
message carefully for information about the incident. All parents and
guardians will be informed of any urgent situation. In the event of an
emergency, it is important that parents do not rush to campus, which
could create traffic problems, hinder the evacuation process and
emergency vehicles entering campus. Updates and directions will be
provided to you, as needed, depending on the situation.
Who will receive a call and e-mail?
Any
contact listed as a parent/guardian for a student enrolled in the
Brockport School District will receive a call and e-mail based on
provided contact information.
Should I receive multiple calls if I have more than one child in school?
No, there will be one call made to each phone number associated with a parent/guardian.
Why were all the people on my child’s profile sheet not called?
The
system is calling all phone numbers associated with the parent/guardian
in the system. You may contact a caretaker directly or anyone else
needing the information. If you recently submitted a student profile
with different contact information, we are working diligently to update
the system.
Why am I not receiving a call on my work phone number?
If
your work number has an extension, the system is unable to dial the
number with an extension. If your work has an automated or person
attendant, the system will start playing the message immediately once
the phone is picked up. You may contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@bcs1.org or 585-637-1857 to check the number on file.
How come I only received an e-mail at one of the e-mail addresses I provided?
Our
Student Information System, Infinite Campus, only allows us to have one
e-mail address per parent/guardian contact. If you would like the
system to e-mail you at a different address, please contact the
registrar’s office at registrar@bcs1.org or 585-637-1857.
How do I update or check my contact information?
You can contact the Registrar's office at registrar@bcs1.org or 585-637-1857 to update your contact information.
