COMMITTED TO COMMUNICATION

Families as Partners

We have invested in a handful of powerful communication tools to ensure that our families stay connected to all things Adelante and Emma Donnan. In addtion to providing each staff member with an iPhone so that you can get into direct contact with them, we use a few key platforms to aid in our partnership with you. 

How we Communicate

We send out texts and calls for general updates. You can always text back and it will go right to the person that sent it.


You can text anyone on the staff directly or respond to a teacher's text from our computer system and it will go right to them.


Important! Teachers and staff are not expected to answer calls or respond when they are teaching. They also may not respond right away after school hours because we encourage them to spend time with their families.

We send a monthly newsletter to all families. It will be sent via email and a small paper copy will be sent home.


All paper flyers and updates will go home on Wednesdays each week.

Progress Report and Report Card dates are on the school calendar. They will go home on green and yellow paper. The green paper needs to be signed and returned. 


Families can always see their child's real time grades by logging into Clever and clicking on PowerSchool

We are proud of our work and proud of our families. We love to show that off! Tons of information can be found on our website.


Also, follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see fun things happening in the building, get updates, and more!

PIK MY KID

At Adelante Schools, we use PikMyKid as our school-wide transportation platform. Whether your scholar rides the bus, walks home, is picked up by car, or stays after school for clubs, PikMyKid is how we manage all dismissal changes and check-ins.


In the event of an emergency, PikMyKid also allows us to communicate quickly and efficiently with families. For that reason, we highly encourage all families to download the app and have it ready to go.


  • 📲 Directions for downloading and setting up PikMyKid are below.
