Fairport Central School District is updating attendance procedures districtwide to reinforce student safety.
FCSD piloted automated attendance calls through the district’s SchoolMessenger mass notification system last year at several schools. After a successful trial, this notification procedure will be implemented districtwide by mid October. The system automatically phones parents/guardians of students who are marked absent from school. This provides the parent/guardian an opportunity to call the school to excuse the absence or to notify the school if they believe their child is present, allowing schools to safely and accurately account for all students.
Parents should review their contact information on the Parent Portal. This information can be updated by calling District Registrar Traci Hall at (585) 421-2009. Questions specific to the SchoolMessenger system can be answered by contacting Fairport’s Technology Helpdesk at (585) 421-2043.
