Region 15 is improving communication with Middlebury and Southbury residents.

The Board of Education and the School Superintendent are developing multiple forms of communication to make it easier for parents and community members to learn what’s happening at the schools.

Increased Informational Contact with Parents & Community

The Board of Education is increasing its number of School Reporter newsletters and the administration is contributing a page in Voices on those months that you do not receive a Board newsletter. Dr. Frank Sippy is developing a Key Communicator Network of residents and business leaders to whom he can turn to help disseminate information throughout the schools and the communities and dispel rumors.

Revitalized Region 15 District Website

Parents, students, staff, and residents contributed valuable ideas for the revitalized district website which launched in September (www.region15.org). Users can easily access direct links and directions to schools, employment listings, and highlights of student and staff accomplishments. The District strongly encourages feedback to the site and will update the site often to keep the information current and useful.

Innovative Use of Information Technology

Monthly E-mail newsletters will contain up-to-date information about the schools, meeting dates, and reminders about school activities. Parents can give feedback directly back to the administration through this email newsletter. If you have not received a newsletter or wish to sign up, please email the School/Home/Community Liaison at karenmkz@charter.net.

PTO Newsletter & Principal Newsletters

The elementary and middle school Parent-Teacher-Organizations regularly publish a newsletter, while all the school principals disseminate a newsletter of their own.
