#WeAreCarmelUnified - September 2018
Strength in Connections
By Barb Dill-Varga, Ed.D, Superintendent
Many years ago, when I was in elementary school, I spent a summer in upstate New York with my Aunt Therese, who was an artist who loved drawing trees. That summer she helped me move beyond drawing simplistic brown and green “mushroom trees” to sketching trees that reflected the true detail seen in veined leaves and multi-colored, textured bark. I trace my love of trees back to that summer(for more click #WeAreCarmelUnified).
CARMEL UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SITE ACQUISITION - INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION (IS/MND)
Carmel Unified School District improves school-to-home communication by implementing Peachjar to distribute school flyers directly to families digitally
Carmel Unified School District is committed to educational excellence and ensuring that parents stay informed about important activities and events that enhance their child’s life. In an effort to improve parent and community engagement, Carmel Unified School District will start using Peachjar as of August 1, 2018 to send digital flyers directly to our families.
Digital flyers will be sent directly to parents who see them as visually engaging images right on their smartphone or computer screen. Additionally, all flyers will be posted to each school’s website. Parents will be able to click to register their children for youth sports, enrichment programs, and community events.
By using this new system, Carmel Unified School District expects to eliminate the need to print roughly 672,000 sheets of paper per year– nearly 81 trees. Additionally, the school district no longer incurs the administrative burden and costs associated with paper flyer distribution.
