Staying in touch with school
We use multiple means to communicate important information with parents and carers at Mackay West SS.
- Our fortnightly newsletter included a wealth of information about upcoming events and activities, celebrations and other important reminders and information.
- Email – we frequently utilise email for personal communication with parents and for group messages and updates. Please ensure your email address is up-to-date to stay informed.
- Class Newsletters – each fortnight teachers will email home a class newsletter which will include information on what students are learning in class each week, as well as other important updates.
- School Stream – We use school stream app to send home messages. This format allows us to send push notifications with lots of information in a timely manner. To sign up to SchoolStream, go to the App Store & follow the prompts.
- SMS (text) – Messages of high importance will be sent to parents via SMS.
- Facebook – Please like our page to keep up-to-date on current events (we live stream events), reminders of upcoming events, and all the great things that happen at Mackay West SS.
I urge parents to keep us informed of any changes to their contact details as our communication with parents relies heavily on up-to-date information.
