First let me send congratulations to all the classroom teachers who have reminded their students and parents to register with School Cash Online. As many of you are aware, we are reaching the final stretch with about six weeks left before the summer. There are not many things that are available for parents to purchase between now and the end of the school year, however, there will be lots of items and events in the fall. By having the parents register NOW we will have the ability to communicate those things to them easily and electronically. Internally, I would like to set a goal of getting as many parents registered with School Cash Online as possible. For this reason I have decided to run an “Inter-School Competition” and GET THE STUDENTS INVOLVED in helping with this important initiative. For the class with the highest number of parents who register online – that class will receive [an afternoon fun day and ice cream party, where they could play board games, watch movies in the classroom, etc.] I believe this will keep the cost low for the school to promote this important initiative, yet entice the students to work together to achieve this goal. My intention is to start to raise a level of awareness with the students in a few days and to periodically be announcing the classroom that is in the lead. I would really appreciate your encouragement to entice the students to get involved with this and rally up the best in your students to participate. In addition, if you have any upcoming sports events, field trips, or year-end activities where you would be collecting money from parents, please ensure we know at the office so we can get this entered to the Parent Site. I have attached an EVENT Template to assist you with this. I will also be sending a notice out to parents regarding the competition and I will have it available in your classrooms to distribute in a few days. Depending on the homeroom that wins, I may need to collaborate with those afternoon teachers to coordinate a day that works best for this event. Yours in Automation, Principal Signature Phase 2 (2.4) © KEV Group Inc Step 3: Student Announcements INTRO Good Morning! As many of you know, YOUR Parents have the convenience of being able to pay ONLINE for events, trips, hot lunches and school items at a website called “School Cash Online”. Taking cash out of [YOUR SCHOOL NAME] is an IMPORTANT INITIATIVE for our school as it saves many hours of time both in the classroom and in the main office. For this reason I have decided to run a School Competition with the winning class receiving an [Afternoon Fun Day of movies & board games etc.] That’s right NO reading, writing, studying or homework on that day, just fun for you and your whole class. So how does your class win??? Each of you are asked to remind your parents to go and register with School Cash Online. Forms are being distributed by your teachers today.
