District installed state-of-the communication system over the holiday vacation and is experimenting with other types of classroom technology.
Parents with children in the Fox Point-Bayside School District will no longer need to look to Twitter or the district's website for time-sensitive information.

The new platform allows the district to send out emergency notifications via voicemail messages to both home and cell phones, text messages and email notifications. Up until now, the district solely relied on e-mail contact. “Today we must be prepared for emergency situations that we never could have anticipated happening, such as the bank robber apprehension on school grounds at Stormonth and the extended power outage at Bayside this past fall.
