eDirectory Q/A

eDirectory Frequently Asked Questions

What is eDirectory? Edirectory is the PTA's online tool for helping parents and teachers find each other. It is also the data source for the paper Directory, class lists, eNews subscriptions, and more in the future.

How do I know my data is secure? Only registered members of the Walter Hays Community have access to this data. To view it, you must login with a registered e-mail address and a unique password. Please make sure your own password is as strong as possible. Weak passwords compromise everyone's data, not just your own. If you forget your password, you may use the password recovery link on the login page.

How do I register? If you are reading this, you are probably registered already. If not, then please contact enews@theseligsons.com or the front office. You will receive a registration notice for your FAMILY within a few days. Please follow the instructions in that notice.

What does registration for your FAMILY mean? Edirectory is organized by Family. Each Family has one unique login (e-mail) and password. The Family record contains space for First and Last Name, address, phone numbers and e-mail address of two parent/guardians, and the names and classrooms of all your children sharing that Family name. The login is the e-mail address of the primary parent/guardian.

I'm registered, what else do I need to do? Update your parent record, making sure that all your parent data is complete and correct. You may do that at any time. After student class assignments are released just before school starts, you must also update your student records by adding any new students (for instance kinders), remove students who have left the school (for instance this 5th graders), and changing grade and teacher assignments for each of your children who remain in Walter Hays. Please do this as soon as possible after assignments are made. Parents and Teachers use the data for class lists and find it very valuable, especially early in the school year. The paper Directory will be printed using the data entered as of mid-September. If you miss the deadline, you will not be in the paper Directory.
