RECEIVING SCHOOL INFORMATION ELECTRONICALLY
Over 280 families are receiving newsletters and school updates electronically. We
encourage all families, if you are able, to join our efforts to reduce paper use.
In an effort to think green and go green St. Nicholas School initiated in the Spring of 2009 the process of
providing information electronically to parents/guardians through our school website and through direct
email to families. Families were given the choice to receive newsletters electronically and regular school
updates electronically. Over 280 families opted to receive information electronically.
We will continue with our efforts to communicate electronically to families that express an interest. Families
that have already signed on will continue to receive information electronically this school year, 2009-2010. Ongoing communication is essential to maintaining healthy school / home relationships. We welcome your input
as we continue to grow our on-line presence.
