Connect-ED® Messages Opt-Out Request

Parents who do not want to receive Connect-ED ® messages from Guilford County Schools may “opt-out” of the program by sending an e-mail to ConnectEdoptout@gcsnc.com. The e-mail must contain the following information:

1. Name of Parent or Guardian Making the Request:
2. Phone Number to Opt Out:
3. Student Name:
4. School:

Within approximately five working days of receiving this request via e-mail or in writing via standard letter (mail to GCS, Attn. District Relations, 712 North Eugene Street, Greensboro, NC 27401) GCS will not contact parents/guardians via the Connect-ED® messaging service for any outreach school messages, attendance issues or time-sensitive situations that may arise.

Outreach messages include, but are not limited to, information regarding medical issues, report cards, schedule changes, picture day, upcoming exams, Open House, scholarships and other special events.  Attendance calls report daily absences, including period attendance. Time-sensitive calls include, but are not limited to, information regarding school lockdowns, school cancellations and/or delays due to weather, intruders on campus and evacuations. Please note that many early dismissal and school cancellations due to inclement weather are also sent as a Community Outreach message since emergency notifications go to up to six phone numbers or contact points per person.
