Electronic Newsletters
(e-Newsletters)
"E-Newsletters are a great means to communicate important school events and notices with the entire school. They also save on time and printing costs. E-Newsletters should supplement conventional printed newsletters for those parents who do not have access to email."

Instant Messaging
Instant messaging (IM) is a form of real-time direct text-based communication between two or more people using personal computers or other devices, along with shared clients. The user's text is conveyed over a network, such as the Internet. More advanced instant messaging software clients also allow enhanced modes of communication, such as live voice or video calling. Instant messaging opens up a world of communication. No longer do you need to walk to the other side of the school grounds to ask your colleague a ‘quick question’ – you can simply message them and get your response almost immediately. Popular tools for IM include Skype, Google Talk and Yahoo! Messenger. These are all free to download and use.
