How often are school circulars issued to parents?

Could you provide more information on the frequency of school circulars being issued to parents? Are they typically sent out on a weekly basis, monthly basis, or something else? Do different schools have different policies on when circulars are distributed to parents? And is there any specific reason why parents need to know this information?School circulars are typically issued to parents on a regular schedule that varies depending on the school’s communication policy, specific needs, and events. Common frequencies include:

Weekly circulars in many primary schools or those emphasizing regular communication
Monthly circulars summarizing important announcements and updates
Term-end circulars (usually 2-4 times per academic year) for report cards and parent-teacher conference information

Besides regular scheduled circulars, schools often issue:
Event-specific notices 1-4 weeks before activities like field trips, sports days, or cultural events
Curriculum or policy changes as needed (frequency varies)
Holiday reminders 1-2 weeks before school breaks
Emergency notifications or urgent safety alerts sent immediately when circumstances require

The exact frequency depends on the school’s specific policies, communication preferences, and needs of the student body. With digital communication tools, many schools now send more frequent updates via apps, email, or messaging platforms while maintaining periodic formal circulars.
