Announcing Our New Data Management System—Net Directories

Dear Parents,

We are pleased to announce a joint effort between HCHS and the PTA to create an online parent directory via Net Directories, Inc., a provider of web-based e-mail directories and online community software for schools. Hunter College Elementary School has used this software successfully for the last several years. This new system will allow parents to see and update their own contact information, and will help us to keep each family’s information absolutely current. It will be the PRIMARY REPOSITORY OF CONTACT INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES. Both the school and the PTA will use this system to communicate important general information to you. I hope you will all agree to participate in your PTA and receive their mailings, but we will be providing an opt-out option if you do not wish to receive email from the PTA. As far as keeping your information current for the school administration’s use, it is important that you participate in this system.

Stay tuned!  You will receive an invitational e-mail from Net Directories shortly, with your individual login id (the e-mail id we have on file for you) and password to the system. When you receive this invitational e-mail message, please log in right away, check your contact information, and make any necessary changes. As you edit your information, you can choose which pieces of your information you want to make visible to others. Rest assured, your information will remain confidential and Net Directories is a secure system.

We will track logins and follow up with families who haven’t logged in to make sure there is not a problem. We hope that everyone will update their data quickly in order to receive important summer mailings, such as Emergency/Medical cards from the school. AT LEAST ONE PARENT MUST ACCEPT E-MAIL BROADCASTS FROM THE SCHOOL.

It is very important that we have the most current contact data for you in our records. We appreciate your cooperation and are optimistic and excited about launching this new mode of communications. I am very pleased that we are able to now offer electronic access to updating each family’s information with the support of our PTA. Thank you for support and participation.

Sincerely,

Eileen Coppola, HCHS Principal, in conjunction with the HCHS PTA
