Witchcraft Heights Elementary School Communication Plan
The purpose of this Communication Plan is to present a clear, concise framework to improve internal and external communication systems. Our goal is to build open, honest, and timely two-way communication between administration, staff, families, and community members.
Equity
This Communication Plan supports our efforts to achieve equity in all school functions and activities. This plan means that all members of our WHES community will have full access and opportunity to receive relevant information, and equal opportunity to communicate back to school administrators. Our methods will be varied and inclusive and we believe that equitable communication is essential to building our community.
Our objective is to respond to all emails/text/phone calls within a 24-48 hours business day response time.
