Communication Tree The Merrin School PTA are wanting to try and make our messages and notices electronic this year. 

To help make or emails separate and standout from any school notices we would like to set up a communication tree. Other schools in New Zealand have tried this with success. The idea of this is to have a nominated parent from each class room who would have the email addresses of the main contact person(s) for each child in that class. PTA notices would then be received form this nominated person instead of the PTA having to go to the the office to get each message emailed out, which are sometimes delayed. Or spend many many hours photo copying and delivering to the classrooms. The nominated person would have the understanding that these personal details were kept confidential. When emailing the class the addresses would be Blind Carbon Copied so other emails would not be seen. Please email back your teacher if you DO NOT want your information given to the nominated person Tuesday the 23rd February. Unless you notify your child's teacher we will assume that we have your permission to obtain your details from your child's teacher. We want to get this under way by as soon as we can. Any questions please email the PTA - pta@merrin.school.nz Thank you, Merrin PTA.
