Communication in a Digital Age

We've been working hard to help students understand the importance of communication and ways that we can communicate (both face-to-face and digitally) in a God-honoring manner.

In a recent Home Bulletin, our principal Mr. De Vries shared a great reminder for all of us:

Communication is key to a successful educational program. We do our best to keep you informed, and we would ask that you do the same. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact one of our staff.We are here for the sole purpose of working with you and your family.

Communication takes on so many forms today that it is difficult to stay abreast of all the change that comes our way.

In addition to email, we now have access to numerous forms of social media. There is daily podcasting, Twitter, Facebook, weekly blog posts, YouTube, Google Hangout, Instagram, backchannels, and more that is available to us.

I would encourage all of us, in whatever form of communication we choose to utilize, to keep the message positive and uplifting. It is too easy to slip into a negative "tone" or actually use the technology available to spread gossip that may be hurtful to others.

Even as adults, we need to remind ourselves of the proper use of technology and practice good stewardship of our time and resources. In essence, we need to talk through issues and inspire rather than text our random thoughts or shoot an ill-intended message.

Thank you for choosing to partner with SCCS!
