Fort Ann Central School District

Important information to safeguard your information! Please see the email received by the district on behalf of NYSED's Chief Privacy and Chief Information Security Officers: Dear Parent or Guardian: Please let this serve as a reminder that you should not share personal or financial information over the phone with unsolicited callers. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately. We are sending this reminder because parents and/or guardians of children who have recently taken an SAT or PSAT exam have been receiving scam calls requesting personal information, including a credit card number, to mail the test results. Additional tips about how to protect yourself from SAT test-related scams can be found on the Better Business Bureau website. Always be wary of unsolicited callers: If you receive a random call from someone asking for payment, research their organization before sharing any personal information. Double check with your child: If someone claims they're calling because of a service your child requested, hang up and check with your child first. Understand the College Board's practices: The College Board will never ask you for your bank or credit card information over the phone or through email. Don't give your financial information to strangers: Never agree to pay a stranger with any form of payment for a purchase you didn't initiate. Thank you and please reach out with any questions.
