Smoke Rise Elementary School communicates across all grade levels.

 

1) Phone Calls/Internet/Email/Class Dojo.   Parents can access information through talking directly to the teacher (calls will be returned within 24 hours), email, ClassDojo, or the school’s website.  Class Dojo is a primary source of communication between home and school. All parents must have a Class Dojo account. Teachers will connect parents to Class Dojo.

2) Peek at the Week Newsletter.  The Peek at the Week is posted weekly.   It gives an overview of the GA Standards of Excellence taught per subject area for the week and upcoming events. 

3) Couriers.   Couriers go home every Friday.   They contain graded work, flyers, information regarding school-wide events, etc.  Progress Reports and Report Cards also go home via Friday couriers every 4.5 weeks. Parents/guardians are required to review and sign the courier, returning it with the child on Monday morning.
