Information about Keep In Touch Subscriptions

If you have received an email from FCPS asking you to update your KIT subscription, please do so!  The capabilities of the new ConnectED/KIT system adopted by FCPS over the summer have been expanded. 

 

In addition to important announcements from the school, you may now:

1. Choose to receive information on specific topics you choose. To continue receiving emails from the Hughes PTA, please check the “PTA” box – if you do not do this, you may stop receiving emails about updates!

2. Choose to receive information from up to five schools

   • Make sure you are receiving information from all the schools your children attend

   • Rising 8^th graders may wish to take register to start receiving information from their high school NOW, so that they do not miss any important announcements about rising 9^th grade orientations or curriculum events.

3. Change/update your email information online at the KIT website

   • No longer necessary to update this info via your child’s Emergency Health Care form; simply visit www.fcps.edu/kit/index.htm  to update information
     
4. Choose to receive community outreach messages from the school division

NOTE: If you subscribed to KIT last year, you must resubscribe to continue receiving messages.  If you know of other Hughes parents who are not receiving important school info via ConnectED/KIT, PLEASE urge them to visit www.fcps.edu/kit/index.htm  and subscribe today!
