News from The Elementary School on the Pudong Campus, Shanghai American School

Communications

We employ a variety of methods to communicate with parents throughout the school year. Primarily, however, communication takes two forms: 1) We deliver information directly to parents on a regular basis;(PTSA, Principal Coffee, ParentTalk, Newsletters, ect); 2) we continually make information available electronically on Edline. We encourage you to invest your time to be well informed.
