Last Wednesday, the 12th of November, you should have received two test messages from our new School Messenger parent notification system. One voice message was on your home and/or cell phone, the other typed message was sent to the one e-mail we have on file per parent. If you did not receive one of the above notifications, please inform Patty Holtz in the business office. I would like to share with you a few pertinent details that were discovered after out initial test of the system last week. Several parents called in to say that they answered their phones but no message, or only a partial message, was heard. We were informed that if a call is answered and the system detects a length of background noise, the system thinks a voice mail recording has answered. If the background noisecontinues, the system will simply hang up and try the call again in 15 minutes. The 15 minute re-call will happen up to 4 times, if necessary. Also, if the phone message goes to your voicemail or answering machine then the instruction to press “star” to repeat the message, or press “0” to respond to the message will not work. Lastly, we were informed that some families have some kind of “privacy manager” phone feature in place. If you use this phone feature, please make sure our school number (257-9366) is not blocked.
