Communicating with parents and students is a must especially when teaching remotely, but you might not want to share your cell number. The good news is that you don’t have to! Here are some helpful tips:
- Check your voice messages on your work phone from home:
- Dial 541-355-9999
- Enter your ID (your 4-digit extension number), followed by #.
- Enter your pin number followed by #.
- Follow directions to listen to and manage your messages.
- Forward your work #:
- Press CFwdAll (or Forward All) softkey. Your phone will beep twice.
- Enter 9 and then the target phone number. Your phone will beep once. The forwarded number will display on the screen’s status line.
- To cancel the forward call function, press the” CFwdAll” or “Forward all” softkey again.
- Call from your cell phone without sharing your number:
- To hide your personal phone number when you call, dial *67 before placing the call.
- It will show up as a “private number” or “unknown caller,” so families might not answer the first time (suggestion: leave a message identifying yourself, and tell them when you will be calling back).
