Byng Public Schools

We are so grateful that Byng School JOM and Crosspointe Church are once again providing school supplies for our students in all grades (PK-12). The lists provided reflect the remainder of supplies needed for students this next year. Note: some extra supplies may be needed for extracurricular activities for 7-12 grade students.

Power School has moved to the Cloud

In order to improve security and access, Byng Schools has moved the Powerschool System to an offiste host.

With ransomware attacks continuing to be more disruptive, moving PowerSchool to the cloud will help mitigate that threat. This move will also allow Powerschool to continue working during local network or power outages (such as the recent windstorm).

Please update your bookmarks to byngschools.powerschool.com. All links on the school website links have been changed.

** Document attachments are now working.

**System emails are now working for password resets and other emails from within Powerschool. Please check your spam folder and mark “not spam” if they do not arrive to your inbox.

New System for School Messaging (robocall system) – BrightArrow

TEXT MESSAGES FOR WEATHER ALERTS AND OTHER SCHOOL MESSAGES

The BrightArrow system allows school personnel to send parents text messages. Once a phone number is opted-in, all text messages will come from the Short Code 79041. The initial message asking you to opt-in will be coming from a phone number in the format with 424-###-####, so please be aware that those text messages are coming from your school. The school may announce with an email when they are sending the opt-in message. Simply reply YES to the message asking you to opt-in and your phone number will receive future text messages. You may also at any time opt-in to text messages from your school by sending YES to the short code 79041. You must have your phone number on file with the school to receive text messages, this is an opt-in mechanism, not a subscribe mechanism. Once you opt-in, BrightArrow will send you a confirmation that your phone number is opted-in. Sometimes a message will arrive in all three forms (email, text, voice). To edit which contacts receive messages, use the Forms tab on the Parent portal and under Form F, use the “Enable Robocalls” checkbox. Or, call the school office and they can assist.
