To All KCCD Employees,
As we are coordinating our efforts related to the Coronavirus districtwide, we have
identified the need to potentially communicate to all of our employees outside of
the usual email transmission. KCCD currently utilizes Blackboard Connect (BBC) for
secondary Emergency Mass Notification transmissions. BBC notifications go out to cellular
(text and voice) and home (voice) telephones as well as email. In order to utilize
BBC in the most effective manner possible, we are asking that all employees go to
the link listed below and update their electronic contact preferences so the District
can effectively communicate with you regarding our response to the Coronavirus outbreak.
Once you click on the link, enter your @ number and password. Once you are on the
page, select “Personal Information.” If, on your personal page you have the box checked
in front of the following language, “ Do not send me any emergency notification messages.
I understand that I will still receive notification of emergency situations through
e-mail delivery.”, please uncheck that box for at least the duration of this emergency.
The District is currently working on improvements to the District's emergency mass communication platforms, but BBC is what we currently have in place.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

OR
For employees, log in to https://employees.kccd.edu, click MyBanWeb at the top of the page, then Personal Information, and then Update Telephone Numbers and Emergency Notification Preferences
You can do the same thing using https://insidebc.kccd.edu, https://insidecc.kccd.edu and https://insidepc.kccd.edu also.
Zoom
Many of you have received an email from CCC TechConnect asking you to activate your Zoom account. This email is a legitimate request and we are asking that you complete this process with your college email address to finish setting up your zoom account. Zoom is a tool that we may need to use to interact with each other and students as we work through the COVID-19 outbreak.
