Pulaski Academy & Central School District

COMMUNICATION AT PACS

Our Goal

• Our goal at PACS is to establish clear, effective lines of communication between the district and our community. We work hard to: be the first and best source of information about our school and education; encourage dialogue that is informative, factual, thoughtful, and civil; and promote excitement about education, scholarship, and our school.

• Our Board of Education meetings provide an opportunity for the public to provide comments during a designated public comment period. Additionally, the superintendent hosts periodic coffee and conversation events, where community members are encouraged to attend and address any district-related questions in a casual environment. All members of our administrative team are also available by phone and email to discuss concerns and answer questions.

Notifications & Reminders

• We use a robust notification system to alert parents via phone, text and email in the event of an emergency school closing, upcoming events or other issues that concern you and your child. Please contact your child's school to update your contact information or with any questions about the alert system. Important notices will also be found on the home page of the website. You may also register for notifications of specific events on the District's calendar page.

Returning Phone Calls & Emails

• School district faculty and staff are expected to return non-emergency phone calls and emails within two school days of receiving a message. Emergency phone calls are returned immediately.

Who to Contact

• Frequently, parents and other community members request help in knowing the best way to communicate with the school. The communications guideline chart found here will serve as a helpful resource.
