School-Wide Communication Guidelines
The Office of Advancement oversees many facets of communication at JSerra. This page will outline for you JSerra's general policies regarding phone and email blasts, JSerra Blog, the website home page, and the monthly newsletter. Once you have reviewed this email, you will be redirected to a web form which you can use to request any of these means of communication.
Effective November 1, 2010, Phone Blasts will be limited to school-wide (or grade-wide) announcements and events hosted by the administration. Individual program announcements and events are not eligible. This policy is essential to ensuring that our phone blasts, which are our primary means of communicating urgent messages with parents, are limited only to the most important and widely relevant announcements. Please contact Elizabeth Beas at (949) 493-9307 x. 1148 with questions.
Email Blasts are sent once a week, typically on Wednesdays, unless otherwise approved by the administration. Any program can request to have announcements placed in the regularly scheduled email blasts. Announcements for each email blast should be submitted by Tuesday at noon. Please limit your submission to no more than 100 words.
JSerra Blog is a great tool for publicizing news about our fantastic programs. Occasionally, content from our blog is picked up by local media. Every JSerra program is encouraged to submit to the blog regarding the program's accomplishments (awards, wins, growth, invitations, community service, etc). Please limit your submission to no more than 250 words.
The Website Home Page, like phone blasts, is limited to school-wide announcements, as determined by the administration. However, if a program submits to the blog, their blog post will most likely be featured in the JSerra Community News section of the home page. Posts for the website should be submitted 24 hours in advance of when the notice is to be posted.
JSerra no longer send a Monthly Newsletter. All information previously included in the newsletter will now be sent in the weekly emails.
Daily Announcements are handled by the Activities Office. Email Donna Vandenberg for more information. The Website Calendar and key dates are managed by Thomas Cappelletti. Click here to email Thomas.
