Communication Protocol for Schools
Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) has developed a Communication Protocol for Schools to provide a framework for communication between schools and our families. The purpose of this document is to guide, manage, and improve school-home communication by offering a standard format, structure, and sequence for regular, ongoing communication.
This document outlines how EIPS’ schools use a variety of communication formats, such as face-to-face meetings, email, SchoolMessenger and social media. It also provides a process for parents/guardians to use if they need to bring forward a question or concern. We encourage families to review this information so they know what to expect and what we expect of families.
As communication changes, this document may also evolve. We will work to keep parents informed as any processes evolve and change.
