QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What is Class Parent Email List?
The Class Parent Email List is a way for School Council to contact parents directly, and for parents to communicate with each other. Parents use these email lists for everything from organizing playdates, teacher gifts, or finding volunteers for your child’s class. Each class will have a parent/guardian class rep who will be responsible for managing the class list and sending out emails.
How is that different from the school’s email list?
The Principal and the school already have your email through your child’s registration. School Council cannot access this email list, so cannot send you information, such as School Council activities.
How is the Class Parent Email List different from the Blog and newsletter?
You have to opt in separately to the Blog, and Class lists have to be assembled every year. Also, there are matters that will be communicated in the Class Parent’s Email List that are not on the Blog. For example, you wouldn’t use the Blog for class specific information such as organizing a teacher gift, or to warn everyone your child has pinworms.
More importantly, there are things we CANNOT post to our Blog, and this is important in 2019/2020. Specifically, information about potential job action related to teachers’ contract negotiations cannot be posted to the Blog. The exception is formal correspondences via the TSDB (for example, last year’s “Walk-In”).
But I don’t want to get emails twice!
And we don’t want to send them twice! There are many of our friends and neighbours who are signed up for one, the other, or neither. We know, because of the many questions we receive from people who are not receiving our communications.
Here is our plan to reduce the overlap:
Between now and November 1, we are going to encourage you to sign up for both the Blog AND your class list. Therefore, in September and October, during the grace time to sign-up for both communications, there will be overlap between those two channels.
Starting November 1, we will only use Class Lists for class specific information, OR for subjects that cannot go on the Blog.
Now the fine print...
Please note that by consenting to be added to the class lists, you are consenting to receive emails regarding fundraising and other promotions such as pizza day or movie night.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, please email us as fernaveschoolcouncil@gmail.com.
Thank you, and welcome back!
