GLOBAL CONNECT

Dear Families,

     All of the schools within SAU#39 will be using a  phone notification system, “Global Connect”, which will be used to inform families about early dismissals, and any emergency situation.

      Please provide us with any feedback you have with regards to this system. Remember that “Global Connect” will communicate via phone lines—land or cell—but will not access, at this time, email addresses.

Regards,

Gerry St. Amand
