Sign up for K12Alert Notification System
Ashford
School subscribes to a notification system called K12Alerts. K12Alerts allows
us to communicate with you via e-mail and telephone calls
for emergency afternoon closings and/or general announcements. It is new starting in September of 2009. You must sign up at this link and
provide your email and/or telephone information. A password is required to sign up. This was sent home to each family on the first day of school. If you did not receive one you can get it by calling the superintendent's office at 860-429-1927. You must sign up for this new service even if you had previously signed up for the old email only service in 2007-2009.
