Dear Parents/Guardians,

A free email notification system is being provided by the Connecticut Weather Center, Inc. to enable parents and guardians to receive notification when weather related cancellations, announcements, or other notifications have been posted by any of the participating educational institutions, libraries, organizations, and businesses. Andover Elementary School, as well as the majority of school districts throughout the state, now participates in the CT Weather Center email notification service for posting weather and non-weather related essential announcements. Parents and guardians can be notified at work or at home if Andover Elementary School posts an important information announcement. Weather related announcements would include cancellations of schools, including meetings and activities, delayed openings, and early closings. Non-weather related announcements might include special events, report card issue dates, or essential deadline reminders.

The email notification system will inform you when a posting has been submitted and link you to the Center’s home page. One click on “Cancellations” and a second click on “Schools” will bring you to the posted message.

To register for this free service, go to www.ctweather.com and complete these 4 easy steps:

1. Scroll down the menu on the left to “e-Notifications”.

2. Click on “e-Notifications” and then click on “Schools”.

3. Complete the easy registration process by submitting your email address. You can duplicate this process and submit more than one address if needed.

4. Within 72 hours, you will receive a confirmation request. Reply to the request by clicking on the link and follow the directions to access your account and identify Andover in the pull-down menu. You must identify and submit Andover as a notification district – this is not automatic. You can identify as many districts as needed by duplicating the “identify and submit” process. It is very easy and user friendly.

Act soon so that you can complete the process and receive notification of important posted announcements from Andover Elementary School. A special thanks to ctweather.com for offering this service.

Sincerely,

H. David Griffin, Ph.D.

Principal/Director of Curriculum
