Dear GWA Community, I have witnessed a disturbing trend in a number of classes in how the parent community is utilizing WhatsApp as a group communication tool. It’s simple and straightforward; it allows instant messaging to a whole group; it allows for multimedia; and it allows anyone to contribute their voice. So what’s not to love? Most classrooms have WhatsApp groups to share instant communication relevant to the group, often started with the support of the Homeroom Parent. The ultimate purpose of them is to share information about what is going on at school and in classrooms, and explains ways people can get involved. Occasionally, there is information regarding invitations to all parents or students about external opportunities or events when it’s also relevant. In the end, its main purpose is to bring a classroom community together and providing a positive space to share relevant communication. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. |
Eco Schools is beginning a campaign to collect toys that will be distributed to by Red Crescent and SENSES-Dubai. Your child will get one house point for every toy that they bring labeled with their name, class and house team. Drop off locations will be in the main reception area.
