By the end of the year, the newly formed child literacy nonprofit group plans to distribute 2,500 new books to literacy programs in Hampton Roads this year.

Calling All Parents:  Listen for Your
Edu-Link Automated Phone Message

Suffolk Public Schools will soon be using an automated phone broadcast system to keep parents updated about emergency situations, weather closings or delays, and general announcements.  The Edu-Link system will be broadcasting another test call to homes on Monday, Dec. 1 and Tuesday, Dec. 2 reminding parents to return a completed Parent-Pupil Survey form.  The telephone number being used by the Edu-Link calling system is the primary number used in the school division’s student information database.  If parents do not get an automated Edu-Link call from Suffolk Public Schools, please contact your child’s school with updated contact numbers.
