Blackboard Connect is the District's notification and alert system. Blackboard Connect can send alert messages via - Voice messages to home phones, cell phones, and even e-mails
- Text messages to cell phones, PDAs and other text-based devices
- Written messages to e-mail accounts
- Messages to TTY/TDD receiving devices for the hearing impaired
WUSD will be using the system to inform parents and staff members of emergencies, daily attendance, inclement weather, school closures and school events.
Call delivery notes
- When a call comes from the school (or district), your caller ID will display the school (or district) phone number.
-
When listening to a message, please be aware that background noise will cause the system to stop and start. It is carefully calibrate to determine whether a person or an answering machine/voicemail has been reached, and background noise may affect the delivery. If possible, move to a quiet area, or press the “mute” button on your phone. -
If a call is sent to your cell phone and you press IGNORE, you will not receive a voicemail message. You must press END to receive a voicemail message. -
If you missed any part of a message, please stay on the line and press the “*” (star) key on your phone to hear the entire message again. Contact Information
It is important that your school has all of your current telephone numbers and e-mail addresses so that you will not miss out on any important communications. To update your information, please download a new form (under Quick Links above), complete and return to your child's teacher.
Please be aware that the Blackboard Connect service cannot dial an extension, so be sure the numbers you include are direct lines. Also, we recommend that high school and middle school attendance messages be routed to a number other than the home telephone number.
Be assured that all personal information will be maintained in the strictest confidence. For more information, contact Gabi Uebel at 928-635-4428 x307. | |
