William O. Schaefer Elementary School

School Communications

William O. Schaefer Elementary School communicates with families through a variety of methods. Here are the main tools we use:

ParentSquare

  • Automated mass messaging service that sends email, text and robocalls
  • Used to remind families of upcoming events or share important information, mostly by email only
  • Student families are automatically subscribed and may login to customize their accounts
  • Current WOS families who are not receiving ParentSquare notifications or who need to update phone numbers/email addresses should contact the school’s main office at (845) 680-1300
  • School ParentSquare notifications are for parents of current students and staff only
  • Communications regarding weather-related closings, delays and early dismissals are handled by the school district (information here)

@WOSnews

  • Follow WOS on Instagram (@wosnews) for a glimpse of the exciting work that’s happening in our classrooms

Google Calendar

  • To keep track of key dates (and what day it is in the rotation cycle), stay tuned to our Google Calendar
  • Information on how to subscribe to updates and sync with mobile devices can be found on the Calendar page
