Communications

I wanted to let you know about some of the ways we communicate information for Orchestra Boosters.  It will be a good idea to have these set up before the school year starts if possible.

Emails -- Of course, you'll be getting emails from me (Sandra Rainey) periodically, as well as from Mrs. Jonas, our director.  Be sure to add this email address to your contact list so our emails don't go into spam.

Blog/website -- http://hrhsorchestras.blogspot.com/  We put announcements on here regarding upcoming meetings, concerts, and fundraisers, as well as information about Boosters' happenings.  We strive to be transparent in our operations.  Go to this website to find out about meeting agendas, minutes, and (hopefully soon) our budget information.  You can also find how to contact anyone on the board if you have questions or need help.  There aren't any silly or dumb questions, and if you are thinking it, most likely others are as well.  Our Orchestra Google calendar is on here too, if you'd like to subscribe.

Facebook -- Highlands Ranch High School Orchestras  We put a lot of our event information on here as well as pictures from various events, classes, and performances.  It's easiest to go through the link to find us.

Remind --  This is an app we have for reminders.  We try not to use it too often, but it's useful to have, I think.  To join our class group, enter 81010 into your phone, then text "@orchparen" to that number.  This should be all you need to do.

Sign-up genius -- We will need volunteers periodically throughout the year.  We will send out a sign-up genius to let you know how you can help.  Getting involved in these activities is a great way to get to know fellow parents, as well as being more "in the know." I know my kiddo, especially in younger years, wasn't always the most reliable source of information... It does get better though! LOL!
