SCHOOL COMMUNICATOR:
Communication between the school and parents is important so that information
relating to the school can be relayed effectively via the school newsletter, website
and the School Communicator.

NOV

The School Communicator is an initiative that was implemented so that effective

communication can be relayed to parents on a daily basis. Alerts are placed on the
School Communicator when matches or practices are cancelled during inclement
weather or when there is an important message that needs to be relayed to parents. There are calendar entries informing you of activities happening and we have
the Resources section for parents to download important documentation.

OCT

It is imperative for all 2017 Grade 1-7 parents load the school communicator onto
their mobile device/laptop.
