November is the last month for North News to be delivered directly to subscribers e-mail inboxes. Beginning with the Dec. 6 issue, the newsletter will be posted online at nkcschools.blogspot.com. Additionally, the district Web site and social media pages will link to the newsletter content.
We understand that change is often frustrating, but the District is moving away from the current newsletter delivery system as a cost saving measure. Whereas the current delivery system is a contracted service the district pays for, nkcschools.blogspot.com is free. Even if you are not a blogger, you can still go online and read about district news and events and have the information you want available to you 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week.
Some of the new features that accompany the nkcschools.blogspot.com online newsletter is the ability to comment on content, RSS subscription to the page and newsletter archives. Readers can dialogue about articles or easily find older articles. Newly posted information will automatically appear in your RSS reader if you choose to subscribe to the newsletter feed. Learn more about RSS Feeds and how to make them work for you in this online tutorial from Press Feed.
Last, but not least, if you have a personal Facebook or Twitter account, be sure to become a fan or follow the district on these social media tools. Not only will updated blog postings be linked directly from these sites, additional photos and videos highlighting district activities will be shared. And don't forget about the district Web site, your one-stop-shop for all things North Kansas City Schools. Make it a favorite!
