CUTTIME & TALKINGPOINTS We use TalkingPoints to send text reminders to families that automatically translate to a preferred language. Please make sure you are signed up for FCPS TalkingPoints to receive messages. More information can be found here ​ Download Parents TalkingPoints for iOS and Android: ​ ​ All student data is managed through CutTime – email communication, instrument inventory, uniforms, and more. Every cell phone number that is registered here will receive a text inviting families to login and update their personal information ​ For directions on setting up CutTime please see this page Magic Links and "Log Ins" No More Need for a Username and Password A username and password are authentication conventions that have existed since the 1980s. We use a newer, more seamless way to authenticate a user in software called "magic links," which have been around for about a dozen years—no more usernames and passwords for guardians and students/members. What Are Magic Links? Instead of members and guardians going to a login page to see their program's details in CutTime, they will open their cell phone messaging app or email and find a text or email message from CutTime. Inside of this notification will be their personalized and secure magic link - meaning that this is unique to that individual's cell phone number or email address, and acts as their "login". Much like a username and password, an individual's magic link should not be shared by members and guardians with anyone else. SMS as the Primary Communication Method The CutTime next gen system uses SMS as its primary means of notification to members and guardians. This means that CutTime will first send communications to the cell phone # on file for a member or guardian. Should the message bounce, the individual opt out, or there is no number/email on file, the system will then send out an email instead. Opting Out of SMS Messaging Members and guardians do have the option to choose email as their primary form of communication. They can reply "STOP" to the CutTime number in response to the message to opt out of text messaging. As long as they have an email listed in their profile, the system will then resort to using email to send them messages from CutTime.
