7. School Communications
You will be added to school emails in late May to start receiving notifications for the upcoming school year. Watch for these communications:
- EC This Week - This email is sent out weekly during the school year and delivered to your inbox on Sunday to get you organized for the coming week.
- EC This Month - This email arrives around the final days of each month and shares in-depth coverage of events and information for the upcoming month.
- SchoolMessenger - You will receive instructions on how to sign up for emergency notifications through the enrollment contract. It is vital that parents, guardians and students sign up to receive these messages as this is one of the quickest ways to be notified in an emergency or for school closures or delays.
