School Communications
 

Weekly Emails

Every week, typically on Friday, the Principal sends out an email newsletter called Bear Tracks.  The weekly Bear Tracks features a  "Principal's Message" and outlines what is going on at school, in LASD, and the community in the coming week and in the near future.  Once Bear Tracks has gone out via email, it then goes onto the home page of www.gardnerbullis.org.

Every Sunday an email newsletter is sent to the school community that is customized for each recipient and has information specific to each person/family regarding upcoming events and message from the PTA, classrooms, or staff. The email arrives in your inbox with the following header information:

• Sender: Gardner Bullis Calendar
• Subject: [GARDNERBULLIS] Weekly Upcoming Events Newsletter

Find more information about the newsletter at https://gardnerbullis.classroomparent.com/helps/267

Classroom Parent (School Directory)

ClassroomParent (https://gardnerbullis.classroomparent.com/) is an online school directory which allows you to communicate within the school community. School, grade level, classroom and group information is managed here by the PTA, teachers, staff, room parents and group leaders and sent via email as needed or in the weekly newsletter.

There is a PTA Group for members, and various other groups that are created and managed within Classroom Parent. To learn more about how groups work, please see the help articles on ClassroomParent or click on the "Groups" tab/header after you log in.

Your Email Address

Bear Tracks is sent to the email address defined by the information in the LASD Info Snap during student registration.

The Sunday newsletter is sent to the email on file in the school directory ClassroomParent. You can update that information any time by logging into your account at https://gardnerbullis.classroomparent.com/.

Annoucement Submission

To submit an announcement to Bear Tracks, or have it included in the Sunday Newsletter, send it to the Bear Tracks Editor or VP of Communications by each Wednesday at Noon for publication that same week.
