More Communicating with Parents
Here’s another article about using the Internet to keep parents connected with how their children are doing - www.ajc.com/friday/content/epaper/editions/friday/metro_f32e89f1464be1cd00b1.html. This system even can even send parents an email if their kids skip a single class.
A company local to the Seattle area has a parent communication tool called ParentOrganizer. It provides a web-based system that provides a one-stop place for your child’s calendar, including due dates for assignments, after-school activities, and more. If you have more than one child, everything is coordinated on one calendar. It can also be used to let parents authorize field trips (no more “Mom, I lost the sheet that you need to sign for the field trip today”), pay for lunches, complete surveys and other kinds of critical parent-to-school communications. You can check out their web page at www.parentorganizer.com or an article about them at www.kingcountyjournal.com/sited/story/html/149163.
