Merriam School Communication Strategies

Revised Dec. 16, 2003.

Class Newsletter

Merriam values the home school connection. Classroom teachers communicate with parents of their students to explain curriculum content and teaching and learning strategies that are the current focus in the classroom. This communication from school to home can take many different forms.

Merriam Community Newsletter

The administration, staff and parents publish the monthly Community Newsletter which is distributed to the greater Merriam community. It is the main communication from the school to the community. In it readers will find committee reports, notices about upcoming meetings and events, classroom highlights, volunteer opportunities, fundraising activities, and school wide celebrations.

Web Site

This Merriam School web site can be accessed through the ABPS homepage. The school calendar, upcoming events, copies of school forms, and other useful information are posted at this site.

Handbook

The handbook is a family reference for school policies and procedures. The handbook includes the mission and vision, defines the structures and strategies that have been designed to carry out the mission and vision, and outlines the general curriculum.
