PTO Family Directory Details & Notes

THE PTO FAMILY DIRECTORY IS BACK!
The Rochester School PTOs have once again joined forces to compile and distribute a district-wide Family Directory. Handy for communicating with classmates, teammates, friends and acquaintances, the Directory will include all grade levels at Rochester Schools. Participation is optional and voluntary. Only the information you provide (which may include names, phone numbers, addresses, emails) will be published. The Directory will be distributed only to families and staff in the Rochester School District.

This year, Family Directory participation will be done ONLINE,
by the participating households, and distribution will be via email.

• Follow the steps to input Directory information. One survey per household.
• Carefully read the disclaimer information on the final page before you agree to submit.
• The survey is open from now through midnight, Sept. 15. At that time the survey will close.
• Then the data will be compiled and a complete directory file will be e-mailed to participants.
• Participants can print the file for their use and/or store the file (pdf) on a computer or smartphone for ref erence anytime.

SECURITY CONCERNS: Participation in the PTO Family Directory involves submitting identifying information (student and parent names, address, phone numbers, email addresses) online. Participants choose the data they submit. This data is available online only to the PTO Directory Team. The Directory, once finalized, will be distributed only to Rochester School District families (only to those who participate) and staff. Although we don’t expect anyone to misuse access to the PTO Directory, the possibility exists. Please consider this before participating.

PARTICIPATION IS OPTIONAL AND VOLUNTARY.

If you would prefer a printed copy of the directory, those will be available for a $5 printing fee and MUST BE ORDERED BY SEPT. 26. Email rocketpto@gmail.com for ordering instructions.
Remember, the survey closes at midnight on September 15.

Thanks, from the PTOs.
