Family Communication
The School District of Janesville (SDJ) communicates with families in several ways.
- Mass communication to families through email, text and automated phones calls using Infinite Campus Messenger
- Messages from teachers and schools can be through several communication platforms:
- District-Issued Email: The official email address provided to school district staff for all professional correspondence.
- District-Issued Landline (desk or wall phone) or Mobile Phone: Communication devices provided by the district specifically for school business.
- TalkingPoints: A communication platform designed to connect teachers and families, with a key feature being the ability to translate messages into over 100 languages.
- ClassDojo (typically PK-5): A platform used for classroom management and parent communication, allowing teachers to share photos, videos, and messages about student activities and progress.
- Seesaw (typically PK-5): A digital portfolio platform where students can create and share their work, and teachers can communicate with parents about their child's learning. It also includes messaging features with translation capabilities.
- PeachJar Flyer Distribution: an online platform used to distribute digital flyers to parents. Instead of sending home paper flyers, these "eflyers" are sent directly to parents' email inboxes and can also be viewed on the school's website. It helps schools save paper and makes it easier for parents to access important information in one place.
- SDJ Website and Social Media pages: We use our district and school specific website as the main hub for official information like the academic calendar, school policies, and staff contacts. For timely updates, event reminders, and a peek into daily school life, be sure to follow our official social media pages on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
