Interested in Working with Your School and the District on Communication?
Consider a Role as a Parent Key Communicator
The Parent Key Communicator (PKC) network exists to increase two-way communication between the school district and families. Three parents/guardians from each school serve as PKCs. These volunteers meet with their school principal to discuss school-based issues, and also join PKCs from all schools to meet with the superintendent and other district representatives. Topics addressed include district-wide initiatives, curriculum, technology, and other topics brought forward by parent participants. PKCs are charged with disseminating information to and gathering information/input from their school-based parent communities. PKCs are also asked to offer input on current communication strategy and to suggest ways communication with families might be improved throughout the year.
PKC meetings are scheduled approximately every six weeks for two hours during the school day (usually in the morning) and are held at District Office. Superintendent Daniel Goffredo, a School Board representative, and Director of Communications Theresa Marsden regularly attend. Parent/guardian volunteers are asked to serve a two-year term as a PKC.
There is currently one PKC vacancy for our school. Interested parents are asked to contact the building principal to express their interest. More information about Parent Key Communicators can be found online at https://greatvalley.iad1.
We need your help to build an outdoor classroom at general wayne!
The GWES community previously raised a sum of money to be used toward creating an outdoor learning space for the students at General Wayne. This project was paused for several years and our goal is to get the ball rolling again!
We are seeking parents/teachers/members of GWES community who are excited to assist with the planning and coordination of this project so that the earmarked funds can be used for their intended purpose.
Do you have a background or specific interest in outdoor learning spaces, landscape design, architecture, playground building/design, grant writing, zoning requirements, technology utilization?
Please consider joining the committee as we work to move this project forward!
Email Rachel Cautilli to join the committee or with any questions!
Membership Directory
ONLINE DIRECTORY
As parents sign up, a database of information forms.
Parents control:
- their own passwords
- can update information at any time
- choose which information will be published
This information can also be accessed through our optional app:
DIRECTORY APP
Parents love the added convenience of accessing the directory from the Membership Toolkit App. The app includes your directory and calendar —and links to your site through their internet browser.
The app is available free in the Apple Store and in Google Play. Download it one time for all of the organizations that you are affiliated with that are using Membership Toolkit. If you belong to 4 organizations that are using Membership Toolkit, when you log in to the app you will see all four organizations presented and you can toggle between organizations.
