n 2018, the Waynesboro Area School District formed a Communications Committee as a means of improving communications between the district, its staff, and our community. Members of this committee are district staff members, parents, and members of the community. Input obtained from surveys sent to families and staff in 2018 and 2019, has been used by the Communications Committee to make recommendations for improvements. Examples of changes made include a new website for the District, a new notification system, BoroBlast, that allows for phone, email, and text messages, and recommendations for informing the community about new initiatives.
We are again seeking parent/guardian input about how the district and schools, and teachers are communicating with families. We hope every family will take a few minutes to complete this survey, which can be accessed through the link below. The results of this survey will be shared at a future WASD School Board Meeting and will be used by our Committee and staff to improve communications with our families.
