Stay Informed

Did you know that you can receive these blog posts to your e-mail automatically?  Perhaps that is how you are viewing them already, but in case you aren't I thought it might help to know that you don't have to try to remember the lengthy website address for my blog.  (Sadly, I know that it is not an easy address to find but back in 2007 when I started the blog I didn't realize how much of a problem it would become.)

The way I have it set up is that the title of the blog post will be the subject line of the e-mail so you can always delete the post without reading it if you realize that it will not be applicable to you.  To sign up for the updates, scroll pretty far down the page on the right hand side to the area that says, "Follow By E-mail" (it is below the Blog Archive & Label sections).  Type in your e-mail address and click "Submit."  Once you do that, you will be set up to receive the posts.  So, if you want to make sure you never miss out on a blog post, sign up for automatic updates.

The counseling center also uses "Remind" to help directly communicate via message to students.  If you would like to subscribe so that I can send messages to you or you can send messages to me, send a text message to 81010 with the appropriate code below:
For the class of 2024, text @2024Abbott
For the class of 2025, text @2025Abbott
For the class of 2026, text @2026Abbott
For the class of 2027, text @2027Abbott

You probably already know this, but this is NOT an actual phone number and the texts we send are from a website and not a cell phone so we can't receive phone calls or messages from you to the number which appears.  It is only for us to send messages.  It is free for you to sign up, but regular text messaging rates apply through your phone company.

At Kilbourne we try to balance how we communicate with families and how we share information out.  There are some messages that we will send directly to parents.  We have a monthly newsletter that we send out to families.  And then we also have additional information that we share through the building's weekly newsletter that is sent out every Sunday night.  Hopefully all of those methods will help keep parents/ guardians alerted to the happenings in the school.

My hope is that students and parents will all feel like they are able to be aware of what is happening at WKHS through the various modes of communication.
