Dear TJHSST Colonial Community:
TJHSST is pleased to launch a new communications platform in
connection with FCPS. It’s a subscription-based email service called News
You Choose.
As a parent, student or staff member at TJHSST, you are now
automatically subscribed to general news and class grade level news, so you do
not need to do anything to start receiving messages. You may always
unsubscribe by clicking at a link at the bottom of a message.
In addition to general school news, you also have the option
to select additional topics you would like to receive information about, such
as school counseling, student activities, and wellness. Check out all your options here.
The News You Choose
tool will not replace the essential information FCPS communicates using the
Blackboard Connect system. Parents
will continue to receive emergency messages, delayed openings and school
closings, attendance messages, low lunch balances, and other critical
information to the email address listed on a student’s emergency care card. You can update
your information through WeCare. Parents are
automatically signed up to receive this essential information and will continue
to receive messages.
Anyone can subscribe to News You Choose. As a
subscriber, you can select which schools you want to receive information from
and how often – as it happens, once a day, or once a week.
We are excited to use News You Choose to keep you
updated on everything that is happening at TJHSST, and we believe you will
appreciate the ability to manage the subscription to best meet your
needs. Our first messages will be published soon, and as we get more
familiar with this new tool, you will enjoy enhanced communications that are
targeted to your interests.
