Key communicator welcome
letter from
McMinnville School District No. 40Jan. 19,
2000
Dear (Salutation),
To keep the residents of our school district informed
about what is happening in their schools and to establish additional opportunities to hear
their ideas and concerns, we are creating a network of people we are calling "key
communicators." I would very much like for you to be a member of this network.
The basic concept is quite simple. Key communicators are
opinion leaders among their friends, family and colleagues. They informally share
information about the schools and school district in their conversations and, in addition,
they let school officials know the positive and negative things they hear about the
schools and/or school district. Thus, they help get accurate information to the community
and share ideas with school officials.
Key communicators will receive a letter whenever there is
a need to disseminate information about something that is particular interest to people in
our community. As a key communicators, we would encourage you to relay that information to
as many friends and neighbors as you normally reach within the course of your daily
activities. Likewise, when you or someone you know has a question, concern or idea, you
will have direct access to school officials.
In our first efforts to share what is happening in our
schools, I have enclosed information about Oregon’s new school and district report
cards that will be made public by February 1, 2000. If you know of others who would
appreciate this opportunity for direct communication, please let us know by calling
434-6551 and asking for Ronda. We are seeking to expand our list of "key
communicators." On the other hand, if you would prefer not to be included in this
communication network, please call the number listed above and your name will be removed
from the mailing list.
The education of children continues to be a top interest
across the state and in our community. We hope this new communication program will provide
a stronger link to the interests of our residents in the McMinnville School District.
Sincerely,
A. Elaine Taylor
