AFASD Communication
This notice is to indicate how the Adams Friendship Area School District utilizes different mediums to communicate with stakeholders.
Skyward Family Access, registered email addresses and our District website serve as our primary means of communicating educational information.
Skylert Text Messaging and Skylert Voice Messaging will be utilized to communicate “Time Sensitive” messages. Examples of this include,
School delays or cancellations due to inclement weather
Mandatory shutdown of school determined by the state and local officials
Notice of teacher absence and the need of students to attend instruction virtually for the day
Notice of need to quarantine due to pandemic exposure
Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, Twitter, and the local newspaper are intended to highlight and/or celebrate the events of daily happenings within our schools.
Communication from teachers will be by use of the family email listed in Skyward which can be linked to instructional platforms:
Check emails and Google Classroom for announcements daily (Grades 5-12)
Check emails and SeeSaw for announcements daily (Grades PK-4)
Work with teachers individually to ensure the best communication for your family needs
Phone, Text, Google Meet, etc.
