BTCS uses a parent notification system called SwiftK12. When you enroll your child in the district or complete the Returning Student Information Update at the beginning of each school year, you are given the opportunity to list two phone numbers and two email addresses to receive calls, texts, and emails from the district and your child's school.
- District calls display the following caller ID: 844-491-5817.
- School caller ID numbers display the main school number.
SwiftK12 is integrated with the existing PowerSchool Parent Portal. If you log in to the Parent Portal, you see a link called SwiftReach SwiftK12 on the top left navigation pane under Alerting.
After clicking the link, you can view recent messages sent by the school or district, review contact information, and set alert preferences. These tabs are located at the top right of the SwiftK12 window.
The Home tab will show you any Documents & Files or Recent Alerts that have been sent by the district or school.
On the Contact Information tab, you will see the contact information we have on file for you. You may provide two phone numbers and two email addresses for messages. If the phone numbers are mobile numbers, you will receive text messages unless you opt-out. If you would like to change the phone numbers or email addresses, you must contact your child's school.
Within the Alert Preferences section of the Parent Portal, can choose certain communication preferences. You can opt specific email addresses and/or phone numbers out of messages or opt-out of categories of messages.You are not permitted to opt-out of Emergency messages.
For text messages, parents/guardians and staff can also opt-out of messages at any time by replying STOP to a district or school message.
If you need to change your contact information during the school year, please contact your child's school.
