This website was created as an extension of the Federal Furnace School Page on the Plymouth Public Schools Website because it provides a platform that can be very easily connected with social media. It is my goal to move towards eliminating paper correspondence from school, and utilize digital platforms. Of course, I will always provide paper updates to families who do not have access to the internet, but the majority of time I spend communications will be focused around digital media. This shift won't happen over night, but it will happen.
I have noticed the need for publishing both concrete information and perspective pieces. Some people have asked that the newsletters stick to the facts, and have commented that there sometimes is too much extraneous commentary. Others, about the very same monthly newsletters, have commented that they LOVE reading the perspective pieces, the advice and the commentary on such topics as homework, state testing and school improvement. So, below you will find two links: one for information-type blog posts, and one for perspectives. You'll find a different voice on each one. On 'Information', I'll aim to stick to the facts in brief statements. On 'Perspectives', I'll aim to share the reasons for why we do things, the stories behind the facts, as well as some advice and suggestions.
