School News

We continue to look for new and creative ways to provide news to the school community without relying on traditional methodologies. Some time ago we ran across what appears to be a somewhat traditional methodology – but it is not. The idea is to publish several times per year a complete newspaper that would be delivered to our families. We have checked it out and are interested in moving forward as we think that it will be a win-win for all concerned.

We have talked with those in Alvord USD and will produce a joint all Riverside paper that will include ASUD and us. We would produce 35,000 copies each time and distribute them to all elementary students and then place the balance on public locations and counters. There would be one article (with pictures hopefully) for each school, which would be the responsibility of the principal.

Sounds complicated and expensive, right? It’s not, it’s essentially FREE – our commitment is to provide the articles. We have checked with other districts that have utilized this strategy and it has been successful. You can see a bit of what this might look like if you check the School News website.

We are looking forward to the first edition that should hit schools, etc. at the beginning of May.
