Communications

Communications Action Team Update

The Strategic Intent (5-year goal) for Communications is:

  • By June 2013, 90% of people responding to a districtwide survey will indicate that they are knowledgeable or well informed about district programs, results and future direction.

A number of "Key Initiatives" have been developed to achieve this 5-year goal:

  • We will develop a process for a District branding project
  • We will develop a system of internal and external communication that educates the entire community on what is happening throughout the school District
  • We will expand the capacity of the District website to enable parents to sign-up for e-mail alerts, students to access district servers for projects/homework from outside school, and for parents/guardians to have access to their child's grades
  • We will create a system to utilize mass communication for disseminating information to public (for example – Reverse 911)
  • We will increase parent engagement and encourage PTO involvement
  • We will develop a process to review and evaluate adult education offerings
  • We will develop a process to engage the Board of Education in supporting involvement of the community as we pursue 21st Century learning
  • We will expand the role of Key Communicators
  • We will examine the feasibility of starting second language at the elementary level
  • We will enhance students' skills in communicating for problem solving and critical thinking

Team facilitators: Dr. Thomas B. Neveldine, Kieran O'Connor and Linda Spear
