Good communication is vital for a successful school year. Patrick Henry Schools will be involved in many events and activities throughout the school year. I would like to share with you the various methods that we will utilize to communicate with district residents. All district voters should have received their annual calendar. This publication not only provides a listing of school events, but also has very important data such as phone numbers, school start and end times, and calamity day information. Our district is also using our website, Facebook, Twitter, and a text alert system called Remind to provide information. A complete listing of the addresses for the Facebook and Twitter accounts and directions to sign up for the Remind text alert system are on the district website. Go to the Parent tab on the homepage, and then select the Social Media Information link in the pull-down menu.The middle school Facebook, Twitter and Remind accounts have all changed this year, so if you have not updated to the new sites, please do so.
Please remember that the district Facebook page will only be used to distribute information to our district residents. We do not use Facebook for two-way communication. Some posts are scheduled in advance and the page is not being monitored for questions that are asked in response to a post. If you have a question regarding a post, please contact the building that your child attends.
The district website has been revised and updated. The new site has been streamlined so that any information useful to a parent has been placed under the parent tab. Below is a partial listing of what can be found under the parent tab of the district website:
-Registration information, FinalForms and PowerSchool
-School supplies lists and school fees
-Information regarding online payments
-Calendars, newsletters and HS daily announcements
-Student handbooks
-Athletic handbook, physical forms and season pass order form
-Social media information
We encourage you to explore our new website as there is much more that what is listed above.
In addition to the sources listed above, there will also be articles put in the Deshler Flag and the Northwest Signal. We will again be participating in WNDH’s School Report, so make sure you listen to WNDH on Monday mornings around 7:15 a.m.
There are numerous positive things happening in our school district, and we want you to be able to follow all our success, so please utilize the sources above and I hope to see you at school activities.
If ever you have questions about our school district, feel free to contact me at 419-274-3015.
