Ahmadi said the district did an autodialer to all their households?

I have children at two different schools and did not receive one phone call. Did anyone receive a phone call from the district?

The schools only call the first person listed on the emergency card. My husband always gets the calls on his mobile.

I have three students at one school and didn't receive a call. Now this explains why emails to teacher(s) regarding Halloween and carnival planning have gone unanswered. It would have been extremely helpful to have gotten that phone call.

I have a student at Foothill and have received several calls since the problem began, the most recent being last evening explaining the "work around".

If you did not receive any call, suggest you go to school and make sure your information at the school is correct.

The district wants to have email in the 'cloud' on Google Mail. Sounds very secure folks. Would any IT director would ever agree to having corporate email run on Gmail? Does PUSD have an IT director or have they left?

Maybe all those boxes of toxic orange goo the district was serving kids as part of meatless monday - the uber healthy chips and cheeze whiz meal - was stored in the server room and the orange goo leaked. The server disk array could not survive its onslaught and all data in its path was destroyed. 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes' becomes 'Attack of the Toxic Goo.'

One kid at the high school, and two phone calls to the house! Appreciated the updates!

Many Fortune 500 companies have moved from or are in the process of moving from traditional email servers and costly Blackberry servers to using Google mail. Web Link

BTW - I received 2 sets of calls for 2 children to 2 different phones along with an email from the newsletter editor for each school. We've come to rely on instant email communication, so I'm sure it was a tough week for PUSD. Thanks for the GREAT alternative communication PUSD, Foothill and Hart! And welcome to Google mail!
