One of our goals is to provide regular, clear, and comprehensive information to our students, families, and community. All formal communication from school administrators and the district will be sent via email. Please be sure to update any email addresses and all other contact information in Infinite Campus.
We know that the most effective way to connect and communicate with our students is through their cell phones. As part of our broader student engagement and attendance plan we will be gathering student cell phone numbers to be used by our team to promote student attendance. While we will continue to contact parents/guardians first when a student isn’t attending class, we want to also connect directly with our students to find ways to help encourage them to get back in attendance during our time in virtual learning. These numbers will be used by advisory teachers and our attendance and engagement staff solely for the purpose of encouraging re-engagement.
To help improve teacher-parent/guardian communication in all buildings, the School District of Greenfield will be using a program called Livingtree as our primary teacher-parent communication tool. Livingtree will allow you to monitor communication from all of your child(ren)’s teachers in a single location. In addition to being able to serve as a two-way communication tool, teachers will post their weekly learning plans for you to see and use to support your student at home and we will post our daily announcements here in addition to on Infinite Campus. More information regarding Livingtree, including registration instructions, will be forthcoming.
We will also be publishing a short, weekly family e-newsletter highlighting news and other information from the school. Beginning on Wednesday September 16th, this update will be sent via email on Wednesday afternoons. We will utilize social media to promote and celebrate the great stories and accomplishments of our school and students.
Thank you for taking the time to review this information. We believe that the best way to teach and support your child(ren) is in the school building, without restrictions. It is our goal to return to this way of teaching and learning as soon as it may be safe for all to do so. We look forward to the beginning of this new school year, and to continuing to partner with you in providing the best possible learning environment for our students.
Best Regards,
Mr. Todd Willems Principal – Greenfield High School
