Communications  Committee

The Communications Committee is responsible for developing a communication plan each school year. 

 

The communication plan will include:

  • A comprehensive New Family Welcome process, that orients new families to:

    • The Montessori method

    • The Villa culture

    • Fundraising goals and vehicles available for fundraising

    • Parent-to-parent mentoring (new families are paired with seasoned families to help build community as well as help transition into the school – mirroring the Montessori method)

  • Updated Parent Handbook (and identifying ways to use technology for delivery and availability)

  • Updated Family Directory (and identifying ways to use technology for deliver and availability)

  • Social Media plan (consolidating Villa Moms groups, managing the PTO FB page, etc)

 

All PTO communications will flow through the Communications committee to create a consistent message and coordinate messaging with all PTO and Administration that will reduce information bombardment to Villa families (i.e. the Program Committee hosts a 50th Anniversary celebration for Villa – the information and invitation would come from the Communications Committee – not Program – to ensure that the timing does not conflict with other communications that need to be sent)
