• 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. |
