Important info: Parent group moving to SLACK

[Amy Kaplan]

Lakemonster Parents,

Wendy is attending to urgent family matters so she wanted me to share the following information with parents:

Beginning this school year, all parent communications will move from this Google group email to the app Slack, in order to align with how the team and mentors communicate with each other.  In anticipation of this, please download Slack on your phones and familiarize yourself with it.  The free version of the app is sufficient for our needs. You can customize your Slack notifications so you know when messages are posted and dont miss any important information.   As families register for the team in September and provide emails for one or both parents, these parent emails will be added to the Slack channel.  This will ensure all and only current families registered for the team are on the lakemonster parent Slack channel.   Emails may still occasionally be sent out throughout the year, but the goal is for Slack will be the primary communication tool for Lakemonster parents beginning this fall.  We know this will be a big change for some in the short term, but we feel this will be a better communication tool for the team parents in the long run.  For now we will continue to use this google group email until the Slack channel is fully up and running after registration.  Thank you!  

Kathy Jordan will be sending out registration information as soon as it becomes available.  Please register as soon as this information is provided so that the students can get to work! ;)

Recruiting efforts over the summer were a resounding success, we gained many interested new members, some new mentors have joined the team and the students are  preparing for an amazing year!
