Email as a Form of Communication

We are here to re-brand the FOA.  To bring life, a new life and a new energy to the community of parents at Avonmore Primary School.  It is my hope that through our positive energy we can create a positive place for our children!

The majority of our communication is done via email.  I find that email is rarely effective in team-building because the reader often puts the wrong tone into the communication.  If the reader is busy, flustered or worse, that energy clouds the information she is reading.

In a perfect world, we would read an email and believe the best in and of the writer.  Give the writer the benefit of the doubt--particularly in a setting where we are all working together to create a positive place for our children.
