Internal
Communication Plan
Internal E-mail
system
o This form of
communication can be used to send information to an enormous amount of people
at one time. Although many staff check
their email regularly, it may not be the most effective way to communicate
urgent information.
Bulletin boards
o A bulletin board can
display a lot of information for staff to be reminded of such as meetings or
deadlines. It is easy to keep up and can
be placed in a high traffic area where staff is going to see the board. A great place to keep a communication
bulletin board would be in an office or another place that staff may sign in
every day.
Staff mailbox in main
office
o Notes, flyers, and
other reminders can be placed in the staff mailboxes to communicate with
staff. This is not a very personal way
to communicate but it is quick and holds the staff member responsible for
obtaining their mail.
Weekly all-staff
meetings
o Staff will meet
weekly to discuss curriculum, professional development, or other issues that
may come up. Meetings can alternate
between whole staff meetings, house meetings, and subject matter meetings. In addition to weekly staff meetings, staff
will meet with grade level tri-weekly.
School Reach – phone
systems
o This is a great
source to get messages to all staff at once thru the phone system. School Reach is an automated phone recording
service, which can call a list of programmed numbers to play a recorded
announcement or message.
Daily Announcements
o This can be either
thru our morning assemblies or thru our phone intercom system. Thru our morning assemblies, we can announce
to the students and staff important dates to remember, accomplishments or other
information that needs to be conveyed.
External
Communication Plan
Email or Flyers
o Written communication
is very important. Events,
announcements, and reminders will be printed out on fliers and distributed
directly to students at school or mailed home.
In addition to our students, we can also send out emails or fliers to
our support in the community.
Community or City
Newspapers
o Being a charter
school and a school of choice, it is important that we market our school to
improve our enrollment. We must get the
word out about the accomplishments our school is making and the events we will
be having. The local newspapers can advertise our school for us and get our
name out there.
Website/Internet
advertisements
o Our website will be
used to communicate with the external public.
The website will have a basic overview of the school, contact
information, accomplishments, upcoming events, and links to each teacher’s
individual classroom webpage. Each
teacher will be required to post homework, announcements, and classroom topics
on their website.
Monday Mailers
o Each teacher will
communicate with the families thru a Monday mailer. This will communicate assignments, projects,
upcoming events, due dates, and other important information.
School banner board
(in front of school)
o
This sign helps to keep the community informed of important events that
are happening in our school. It also
reminds the parents and students of these events as well.
