Communication- Goshen Creek Elementary
Communication is BIG
Every week I send out a weekly newsletter to staff. The Weekly News is created using Smore.com and contains the weekly events, reminders, recognition of positives things going on campus, staff Star of the Week, staff birthdays, staff news they would like to share, an inspirational quote or message and/ or an article or video.
At the beginning of each month, I send out a parent newsletter (Goshen Gazette ) which I create using Smore.com. This is sent via email, Facebook and Remind.
Teachers call parents prior to school starting to let them know they are the teacher. Then they make a positive phone call to each parent within the first 2 weeks of school.
I get to make positive phone calls to parents through our Positive Office Referrals. Teachers refer students to the office for making good choices. Our goal is for each student to receive at least 1 before the end of the school year.
As a principal I try to be visible throughout the school. My goal is to go into each classroom everyday. I also greet students and staff each morning in the main hallway.
Reminders of upcoming events are sent on a regular basis via School Messenger (email & text message) and Facebook.
