Social Media Options in the New Year..

As we move into the new year, we are looking at ways of improving our social media communications directly from our classrooms. We have utilized Facebook as our social media outlet since COVID began, however, we are mindful of the changing families and their accessibility to Facebook. Would the utilization of a different avenue be more suitable for your family? We would like to consider switching to BAND. BAND would be an additional app you would download but it functions similar to Facebook. For more information on what BAND entails, click here.

Would your family prefer a different social media outlet for daily classroom updates? Yes Select No Select No Preference Select
