Re: ParentBroadcast: New School-to-Parent Notification Service

Dear Parents,

School-to-family communication is a priority for Keshequa Central School. We strive to keep families informed
of all events and news that affect the safety and academic achievement of our students. To help us improve
how we communicate with our families, I am pleased to announce our enrollment in a new notification service
called ParentBroadcst.

With the convenience of ParentBroadcast, we can quickly contact all families – in a matter of minutes- with
urgent and non-urgent news. We expect to use the service for school closings, delayed openings, and early
dismissals due to bad weather. We will also contact you in case of a crisis at school, cancellations, rescheduled
activities and to send general purpose reminders. Since we have unlimited use of the service, we can greatly
improve how we share important school information with you.

KEEP THIS NUMBER HANDY

All announcements will be sent to each family’s primary phone number on file at school. Families that wish to
include additional phone numbers or email addresses for emergency announcements, may do so by calling the
ParentBroadcast Family Hotline at 1-800-510-5805. For security reasons, you must call from your
Primary phone number to manage your personal emergency contact list. If you choose not to add more
Emergency contacts, urgent messages will go to your primary phone number only. If you miss a message, you
can also call the hotline to listen to the most recent announcement.

Please take a moment and review the ParentBroadcast Service Summary enclosed with this letter. We want all
our families to take full advantage of the safety benefits and convenience this new service provides. If for any
reason, however, you choose not to participate and would like your primary phone number removed,
please contact the school office by November 22, 2005. By declining, you will not receive
ParentBroadcast announcements.

Sincerely,

Lucinda Miner
Superintendent of Schools
