The Foundation for Public Education heard from many alumni of PV high schools. We listened. Thanks to your interest in being a part of this growing community, The Foundation has partnered with Paradise Valley Unified School District and Harris Connect, a leader in high school and college social networks.

In September 2009 we began our first alumni project -- the alumni directory. The pre-ordered inaugural directory book will be mailed the first quarter of 2010.

Below is a list of the frequently asked questions concerning the directory project that you may find helpful.

When can I expect to hear from Harris Connect?
Monday through Friday, Harris Connect makes calls beginning at 8:00 a.m. and continuing until about 9:00 p.m., in all time zones. They may try to contact you at work during the day, in the evening, or during the weekend at home. On Saturdays, they may call from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; on Sundays they call from 12:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. If you are contacted at a time that is inconvenient for you, simply let the representative know. S/he will give you the Harris Connect toll-free number (1-866-678-9929) or will arrange to call you later.

Will the directory be available on-line?                                                                                                                                                     The directories are only available for purchase during the Phoning Phase which is currently scheduled to run through January 9, 2010.  An alumnus may purchase a hardcopy version of the directory, a full CD-Rom version, an abridged CD-Rom version which contains the five years surrounding their graduation year, or a combination of the lot.

If my name is listed in the directory, am I obligated to purchase a copy?
Although everyone will be given the opportunity to purchase his or her own copy of the directory, your name will be listed regardless of whether you decide to purchase a copy.

What if I don't want to be listed in the directory? What if I don't want certain pieces of information listed? Harris Connect can still update your information for us, but will honor your specific request to exclude all or parts of your biographical data from the publication.

What happens if I don't order a directory now, but change my mind later?
We have arranged to print as many directories as are ordered before we go to press. So, if you do change your mind prior to publication, you can call the dedicated toll-free number.

What forms of payment will be accepted for the purchase of a directory?
The directory may be paid for by major credit card or check. Payment(s) may be made by credit card at the time of order or by check upon receipt of the invoice(s). We also offer installment payment plans, allowing you to pay a portion now and the rest later. Alternate CDs (e.g. Reunion CD) must be paid for by credit card.

If I place an order using a credit or debit card, how will the charge appear on my statement?
On statements for most major credit cards, “HC” will appear with part of or the entire name of the institution, e.g. HC PV High School. On American Express statements, “Harris Connect” will appear with part of or the entire name of the institution, e.g. Harris Connect PV High School.

What if I decide I want to cancel the order I have placed?
Orders for the directory may be canceled by simply writing the word "Cancel" on the invoice and returning it to Harris Connect or by calling the Harris Connect Customer Service Department at 1-800-877-6554. Be sure to provide the account number when calling.
