Elementary School Newsletters in Marion County FL August 2014

Teachers reported for work August 12, 2014 and students returned August 18, 2014. School has been open a week. Let's take a look at the elementary school newsletters as of August 23, 2014. 

To find a school newsletter, we go to the school website and look under the About Us section for newsletter. Sometimes is is found under News & Events or Parent Information.

OVERVIEW:  There are 32 schools linked under Elementary Schools at the MCPS School Directory, and one week into the new school year - 7 calendar days before the end of the first month :

TWO of these 32 schools have an August 2014 newsletter posted. [6.25%]

KUDOS Principal Michael Hearn at Fort McCoy and  Principal Kendra Hamby at Madison Street Academy.

An additional 14 of these 32 schools have a newsletter dated some time in 2014. January, February, May, June, etc.  Two of these have a month but no year posted on the newsletter.  We gave them the benefit of the doubt and called it 2014. [43.75%]

3 of the schools have newsletters dated for sometime in 2013.

12 of these 32 schools either have no link at all or the link leads to an error message.  [37.5%]

One apparently hasn't had anything newsworthy happen {Not even getting a new principal was newsworthy enough to update a newsletter} since 2010.
