Our ability as a school district to communicate with our students, students’ parents, faculty and staff has now entered the 21st century. Through our relationship with Global Connect and their School Communication System you will be receiving personalized telephone messages which will keep you informed of school activities, important dates, parent or student events, etc. This very unique communication tool can also be used in the event of an emergency situation. A message describing the event or providing specific instructions can be created and sent within minutes of its occurrence.

It has been proven that parental knowledge plays a key role in student achievement. Our partnership with Global Connect will reinforce and fulfill this precedent as well as supporting our responsibilities under the “No Child Left Behind Act.”

This dynamic tool is not intended to replace, but rather to enhance our current modes of communication. The Global Connect School Communication System is a positive reinforcement to our commitment to remain personally connected to parents through directed telephone contact, general school announcements, inclement weather school closings and critical or emergency school announcements.

If at any time you wish to change the phone numbers or alter the sequence, or if you have any questions, please send an email to: globalconnect@fcsd.wnyric.org or call 679-1581 ext. 2701.

We thank you for staying involved in your child’s education and for allowing us the means to raise the standard of excellence in our schools.
