District launches new phone system March 16
Starting Monday, March 16, a new telephone system is scheduled to be up and running across the district.

The system will function very much like in the past, but with new features that include an auto-attendant and voice mail option for teachers and staff. The auto-attendant will quickly and efficiently distribute calls to specific locations within the district. The auto-attendant can be reached at 607 693-8101. Callers will then hear the following:

Thank you for calling the Harpursville Central School District.

If you know your party’s extension, you may dial it now.

For attendance, press 1

For transportation, press 2

For the health office, school nurse, press 3

For the W.A. Olmsted Elementary School, press 4

For the Jr. Sr. High School, press 5

For special education, press 6

For food service, press 7

For athletics, press 8

For the business and district office, press 9

Another enhancement will enable parents to leave a voice mail message (press 4) for teachers in the elementary and high school buildings. Building secretaries will also be able to transfer callers to teacher voicemail.

From 7:55 a.m. to 3 p.m., external callers will be able to leave only voice mail messages for teachers. External calls will not ring into the classroom during these hours. All calls outside these hours will ring directly to the teacher’s classroom.

Callers will hear these prompts at their respective building:
