Moving morning messages to a faculty blog

Dear colleagues,

We will be slowly transitioning the “Morning Messages” from email format to blog format.  Middle School and High School made this switch last year; now it is time for Elementary School to make the change to a faculty blog.  This change may have many advantages and two disadvantages:

The advantages will include:

• A common location where all the messages are archived
• A feature to search for key terms
• An ES parent/student/faculty calendar on the left, minimizing the need to duplicate putting dates in two places at once
• Every posting can be automatically sent to your email, if you subscribe
• It forces the format to be “cleaner”: one font, not a lot of different images, etc.

The disadvantage:

• If you want every posting automatically sent to your email, you must take 30 seconds to subscribe; one time only.
• It takes slightly longer (30 seconds?) to post it to the blog, rather than send out by email

We can refine the design and format over time.  Please go the Elementary School Faculty Blog and subscribe today (bottom right hand corner of the blog).

Cheers,

Dan
