Communication
Great River knows that some of the most equity-focused work we can do is ensure that students & caregivers feel well-informed about happenings at the school.
We regularly communicate using the following channels:
Announcement Blogs & Automated Daily Digest Emails
Our Announcements Blog is hosted on our website at www.greatriverschool.org/announcements. We regularly update this page with non-urgent school announcements (upcoming events & activities, volunteer opportunities, etc).
This year, we will use an email service to send new announcements daily. All families will be opted into these level-specific announcements and will receive a daily email digest of any announcements. If you don’t want to receive these emails, you can unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of the daily update. You can always check what is being posted by going straight to www.greatriverschool.org/announcements or by checking the level-specific links below:
If you are not receiving these updates, email office@greatriverschool.org to troubleshoot. It’s possible we don’t have the correct contact information for you in Powerschool!
Direct Emails
In case of urgent communication, you will receive an email directly from David Núñez, Stacey Kreger or Great River School with more information.
Family Newsletters
GRS sends a monthly newsletter to families, usually on the first Monday of the month (with some exceptions, depending on the school calendar). These newsletters are to feature student accomplishments and events at the school. If you do not receive these messages, reach out to office@greatriverschool.org to make sure your contact information is updated!
Social Media:
GRS maintains our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages.
We do not maintain or supervise the GRS family Facebook pages listed below, although they are good resources for connecting with fellow families.
Website: This is the primary home for resources for current families. Each level has their own tailored Family Resources page that is linked from the home page.
Necessary and Urgent Messages: The school will contact families via email, text, and/or voicemail. Robo-calls will be made for attendance for onsite students and other urgent messages will be sent by text and/or voicemail. This video from 2019-20 demonstrates how to ensure your contact numbers and email are accurate through PowerSchool.
Who-to-Call Chart: For general questions, email or call the school at: office@greatriverschool.org and 651-305-2780. For specific questions, refer to the handy Who-To-Call chart located on our website. www.greatriverschool.org/who-to-call/
