Q. What is SNN?
A. Our School News Notifier (SNN) is an opt-in email alert system where parents and others can sign up to receive e-mail alerts from
the district. Administrators have the ability to send updates and reminders about school
and Board of Education activities, or information about emergency school closings and delays. You can choose to receive any or all of the alerts, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Q. How do I sign up?
A. Go to the
SNN home page
and create a profile. You will be asked to fill in your name, your e-mail address and to select a password. Once you create your profile, you will be asked to select which alerts you would like to receive. Once you choose your alerts and click subscribe, you will be all set! (You can change your selected alerts at anytime by logging in to the system.)
You are also welcome to create a second profile for yourself using a second email address if you would like to have alerts sent to you both at work and at home, for example.
Q. How do I log in?
A. Go to the SNN home page, enter your e-mail address and password in the appropriate fields and press the Login button.
Q. How do I subscribe or unsubscribe to a specific notification?
A. After you log in, your profile page will appear. Click the checkbox next to each notification you'd like to receive and then click 'Update'. If you leave a box blank you will automatically be removed from that list.
Q. How do I unsubscribe to all notifications?
A. I f you decide that you don't
want to receive ANY updates from BHBL's SNN system, it is easy to unsubscribe. When you visit the SNN home page, there is an "unsubscribe" link on the right hand navigational rail. Click on it, fill in the form and you're done!
Q. What notifications do you offer?
A. Currently, we offer the following 3 notifications:
Emergency school closings and delays:
Find out via email when any of our five schools is closed
unexpectedly due to severe weather or other emergency.
Alerts will also go out when classes are on a one-hour or
two-hour delay in the morning, or when ALL afterschool or
evening activities are cancelled due to bad weather.
Board of Education Budget
Development Announcement: Sign up for this notification
if you are interested in following the process of creating
the next school budget. Emails will go out to let you know
that new information about the budget has been posted on our
website or to announce an upcoming community budget forum.
Change in Sex Offender Residency:
Find out via email whenever our school district is notified
by the police that a registered sex offender has moved into
or changed residency in our district. This is a rare
occurrence, but signing up for this notification will allow
you to share whatever limited information we receive from
either state or town police.(Note: you can also find information on sex offenders at any
time on the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services web pages.)
Q. How often will I receive an alert?
A . The number of email alerts you receive will depend on which
alert(s) you have signed up for and how often that event occurs.
