It's no surprise that during this unprecedented time, many schools are restructuring how they use their communication channels. Without students in the classroom, the need to reach families digitally is more important than ever and new types of communication — distance learning resources, free meal pickups, and public health updates, to name a few — beg the question, which channels do I use to disseminate this new information? For many, Peachjar has played a key role in their emergency follow-through plan. Here are what three school districts have to say about their communication strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic:
Bloomington Public Schools — Bloomington, MN
In addition to sending weekly updates to support COVID-19 response efforts to families through Peachjar, Rick Kaufman, executive director of communications for Bloomington Public Schools, "approves flyers for distribution from our community partners, such as public health, City of Bloomington departments and a local food bank that serves four suburban communities."
While our daily lives have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, one thing's for sure — it's been truly incredible to see our communities coming together to support one another. We at Peachjar would like to commend all of the amazing work school districts are doing to help their families. We see the timely content you have been sending through Peachjar, and are displaying great examples of your work for others to view on this webpage. Check it out, and stay safe!
