Things like getting kids out the door in the morning, packing lunches, picking them up from school, making sure homework is done, and on and on. But most of all, parents are looking forward to not having to completely disregard so many emails sent from the school. \u201cWe probably get 10 to 15 emails a week from the teacher or someone at the school,\u201d said Swigert Elementary parent Amy Simbro. \u201cThings like what the kids are working on, any activities they have going on that week, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/stapletonallsports.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">camps<\/a> they can attend and on and on. At least that\u2019s what I think they are about. I don\u2019t read all of them.\u201d Isabella Bird parent Joe Bauer is in a similar position. \u201cThey just send so many emails,\u201d said Bauer. \u201cI really don\u2019t have time to read them all. I usually ask one of the better parents if there is anything urgent, and they give me the crib notes. Really excited to stop getting so many emails.\u201d For the school\u2019s part, they are just making an effort to keep parents informed on what is going on with their kids for the seven hours a day parents don\u2019t see them. \u201cThere is no way to know which parents want to be engaged and which ones do not,\u201d said Bill Roberts educator Lindsey Carman. \u201cSo, we send our communications out to everyone. We also want to avoid anyone ever saying things like, \u2018well, no one ever sent me that.\u2019 Yes, we did. At least 8 times.\u201d There is no plan in place for the schools to slow down its communication. \u201cMany parents really appreciate knowing what is going on with their kids,\u201d said Carman. \u201cAnd truthfully, it only takes about 30 seconds to read and respond to any of the emails we send.\u201d The parents simply look forward to not getting any more emails. \u201cI just hope there is no \u2018summer communication\u2019 program,\u201d said Simbro. \u201cI have time to complain about all these emails. I just don\u2019t have time to read them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6950","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-146","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6950"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6950\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7980,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6950\/revisions\/7980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
