Consistent Communication
Current Challenges
- Lots of emails! It's really hard to keep up with those coming from the teachers, school and the various flyers folders.
- Links to various resources and associated logins come home on paper and promptly get lost.
- Technology is used in the classroom, but no access to see what my child is doing.
Proposed Solution
Our goal is to determine a consistent classroom to parent communication plan that lasts year after year. Using a combination of technology platforms, we'll reduce individual emails into a consolidated newsletter, create a single location for parent resources, and provide links to classroom technology.
Consolidated Fundraising
Current Challenge
Ohhhhh... the fundraising! It's important, but it does wear you down. Selling products, school fairs and talent shows, turkey trot, laps for love, and then there's the "donate a dollar" events! Gracious, it feels like every time you turn around, you're being asked for cash!
