The City School
District of Albany is launching a new e-mail and text-message
notification system that allows parents and community members to choose
the information they will receive from each school and around the
district.
School News Notifier
will provide updates in 20 different categories, including news and
events from individual schools as well as district-wide information such
as transportation, athletics and Board of Education updates.
Text alerts, limited
to 140 characters, will be sent out regarding school closings, delays
and other time-sensitive emergencies. E-mail notices will provide the
same level of information as well as more detailed notices about a wide
range of additional news and events.
You can choose to
sign up for this “opt-in” service, and can unsubscribe at any time.
Sign up by clicking
the “School News Notifier” icon on the
www.albanyschools.org home page. You can choose to receive
notifications from as many or as few categories as you would like.
“School News
Notifier is a great way for families and community members to stay up to
date about what’s going on in our school district, and to receive
important updates directly to their cell phones and e-mail accounts,”
said Chief Information Officer Ken Cioffi.
Text messages are
free to people who have unlimited text-messaging services; cell-phone
carriers may charge a fee to people who don’t. Check with your provider
if you’re not sure of the terms of your plan. |
