Dear Parents,
We utilize BrightArrow in our district, an automated parent notification system. The system will notify parents if their child is absent from school using the contact information you’ve provided in FinalForms.
When your child is absent the system will make an automated call to the primary number listed in FinalForms. It will also send a text message and email to the first two contacts listed in FinalForms.
Below is the message you will receive via phone and email:
This is an attendance notification from Lexington Local Schools. Your student, [[firstname]] was marked absent this morning, [[today’s date]]. Please send a note with your child upon return to excuse this absence. Press any key to repeat this message. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
An additional note is included with text messages:
Lexington Local Schools would like to continue sending you text messages. To receive these messages, please reply YES.
(We suggest you reply YES to continue receiving alerts).
You are still strongly encouraged to call the school to report your child’s absence. Additionally, written notification is still required to excuse any absence upon return. Finally, if you have provided advance notice of your child’s absence or if they are tardy, you may not receive a call.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this automated notification system, please contact your building principal. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Secrist
Superintendent
