Tonight was a classic example of why we are moving away from our current Robo-Call system. I created and scheduled a broadcast to go out to all of our parents and contacts regarding the first day of school, bus routes, and options for the eclipse. No more than 2 minutes after receiving my phone call I start to get text messages from many of you stating that there was no message only dead air or a hangup. GRRR.
I apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused not only tonight, but also in the past. Within the next several weeks we will be instituting a new Robo-Call system that will allow you as a parent, student, or community member the opportunity to login and set up your own preferences (phone call, email, text) and then it stores the messages on the internet and you will be able to log in to hear / read any message that has been sent. Yipp, they will be archived for future access. We will work to get this in place just as soon as possible and will provide instructions and support to help you get set up.
In the meantime: Here was the message from tonight!
Good evening Longhorns. We hope that you are as excited for school to start as we are to have you coming back. Just a reminder that school starts tomorrow at 8:00 am and that our bus routes have not changed: same time, same location. We know that there is some hesitation about viewing the eclipse tomorrow. If you would like to join us on the field to help your student keep their glasses on please do so. We will be on the field about 11:30 AM. If you would like your student to stay inside during the eclipse, we certainly honor that. Just let the office or your students teacher know first thing in the morning.
We truly are excited to see everyone back tomorrow. Our opening assembly will be at 8:10 on the football field.
GO HORNS!
