<p><strong>Q1.  Did Campus lose this ability?</strong><br />
A1.  No, instead our school district is dropping this portion of the service and moving to a different service.</p>
<p><strong>Q2.  So our schools will still be able to send out automated phone calls or text messages?</strong><br />
A2.  Yes!  Instead of using Campus, you&#8217;ll need to contact School Community Relations and they will work with you to use BlackBoard for sending out notifications.</p>
<p><strong>Q3. What are some examples of who used the calling/texting options?</strong><br />
A3.  Some schools have used the calling/texting to send out automated attendance calls, reminders of events, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Q4. Will we still be able to send out emails through Infinite Campus?</strong><br />
A4.  Yes, we still have the ability to send out emails turned on in Infinite Campus &#8211; however, it is likely that this feature will also be phased out over time, as we&#8217;ll eventually be using Blackboard for our communication needs.</p>
