Connect-ED™

The York County School Division recently launched Connect-ED™, a school-to-parent telephone notification system, as part of the division's efforts to communicate more effectively with parents. Connect-ED™ will also be used for staff communications.

School administrators will have the power to make one phone call and reach all parents in minutes. YCSD principals and administrators will use Connect-ED™ to periodically and personally connect with parents on issues related to division initiatives, school meetings, testing dates and conference reminders. And, soon we will be using Connect-ED™ to notify parents of student absences.

Connect-ED™ also will enable division administrators to reach parents immediately in the event of a division or school-wide emergency. The system can deliver up to 3,000 messages within minutes -- ensuring that our parents quickly know what's going on in the case of an emergency.

To receive these messages, the school must have your up-to-date contact information. If you move, change jobs or obtain a new cell phone number, be sure to provide your child's school with the new contact information so you won't miss a single Connect-ED™ message.
