School-Wide Environmental Behavior Changes (optional)
Electronic newsletters and publications
Dates: September 2012 - ongoing
Riderwood has taken deliberate steps in the past two years to reduce paper use by sending electronically almost all of the documents that would otherwise be distributed in paper form to the 385 families in the school, resulting in 103,180 pages of paper saved. Listed below are the documents now sent electronically and the pages of paper saved in the past two school years:
-- Raccoon Tribune, a monthly publication containing important announcements from the principal, PTA, school nurse, school counselor, Green Team and other committees, and calendar updates. Each Tribune can be up to 10 double-sided pages long.
Paper saved: 10 pages x 20 Tribunes x 385 families = 77,000 pages saved
-- Riderwood Report, a quarterly student-written and produced newsletter. Each edition is 2 double-sided pages.
Paper saved: 2 pages x 8 editions x 385 families =6160 pages saved
