District Six gets new technology to keep up with the times

District six wants to put more focus on school websites as they try to figure out the best way to get information to families.

The district is adopting a new communication technology called Synrevoice that will allow them to send information through e-mail and voicemail.

Superintendant Zoe Watson says parents increasingly want information posted online.

The district was previously using a communication system from Alliant that didn't allow Bell costomers to receive school voicemails.

Twenty-one of district six's twenty-three schools are adopting Synrevoice at the price of $2.25 a student.
