•  District to use ALERTNOW Notification Service as an additional communication tool between the school district and parents--Keeping parents informed is a top priority of the Bethel Park School District, and we will be using the ALERTNOW Notification Service to send telephone and/or email messages to parents and/or employees to notify them of things such as school delays or cancellations due to inclement weather.  With ALERTNOW, you won't have to watch television to wait for Bethel Park's status to scroll onto the screen.  Parents will be notified by phone when the district makes the decision to close or delay.  ALERTNOW can also be used to remind parents of upcoming events at school.  But most importantly, in an emergency, ALERTNOW has the capability to launch 12,000 phone calls a minute, so parents don't have to rely on Phone Chains to get emergency information.  In an emergency, ALERTNOW has the capability to call up to three phone numbers per student.  ALERTNOW also has the capability to send out email messages to one email address per student.   Please click here to learn more about ALERTNOW.  We hope you will agree that ALERTNOW is another way the district can keep parents up to date.
 
Edline Now Available for Neil Armstrong Parents—Parents whose children attend Neil Armstrong Middle School now have electronic access to their child’s academic progress through Edline.  In September all parents received an Edline Activation Code via U.S. Mail.  Parents are encouraged to go to www.edline.net and activate their child’s account.  The website will guide you through the process.  Once an account is activated, parents can see their child’s interim grades posted for the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th weeks each quarter for assignments, tests and quizzes, as well as attendance and final report card grades.  Parents who have difficulty accessing Edline can contact LuAnn Sautel (412-854-8756) or Nita Wright (412-854-8751).  We encourage all parents to stay up to date with their child’s progress via Edline.  Parents who do not have access to the Internet can do so at the Bethel Park Library.  Librarians are available to assist.
