Parent Communication

Parent Communication

Numerous attempts are made by the school to keep parents/guardians aware of classroom and school-wide events.  Some of these sources include:

• The marquee at the front of the school that details the date and time of important school-wide events.

• The Mustang Minute is a newsletter prepared by the principal that details important information that parents/guardians should know regarding the school's events, policies, and procedures.

• https://www.dentonisd.org/shultzes is our school web page that provides important information regarding our school's mission, policies, procedures, offerings, and upcoming activities.

• All classroom teachers have a newsletter and/or websites with information about their class.

• Phone call-out and email communications are done by the district and school with important reminders and information to parents with phone number and email listed from registration.

Distribution of non-school materials on school campuses by students & community members:

For materials to be distributed in our Tuesday Folders to the entire study body, these must be either DISD materials or materials that have been stamped and approved by the office of Academic Programs with DISD.  These will be placed in Tuesday Folders.

For literature to be widely distributed (distribution to more than 10 students), they need to be placed in the literature distribution area by the front office. Items will only be placed in the literature distribution area if they do NOT contain the following:

· The materials are obscene, vulgar, or otherwise inappropriate for the age and maturity of the audience.

· The materials endorse actions endangering the health or safety of students.

· The materials promote illegal use of drugs, alcohol, or other controlled substances.

· The distribution of such materials would violate the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of another person.

· The materials contain defamatory statements about public figures or others.

· The materials advocate imminent lawless or disruptive action and are likely to incite or produce such action.

· The materials are hate literature or similar publications that scurrilously attack ethnic, religious, or racial groups or contain content aimed at creating hostility and violence, and the materials would materially and substantially interfere with school activities or the rights of others.

· There is reasonable cause to believe that distribution of the non-school literature would result in material and substantial interference with school activities or the rights of others.

Literature distribution area time, place, and manner.

Time:  No more than 10 school days.

Place: Literature distribution area located in the front foyer of the school

Manner: Once items are reviewed by the campus principal to ensure the guidelines listed above are met, the literature will be placed in the distribution area for 10 school days.
