Nah....takes too much common sense. Oh, I know, what about calling home and checking your messages? Nah….takes too much common sense.

However, it should (theoretically) be within the capabilities of the Class Parent to do notifications in this manner for those that want/need it. But alas, thus far it seems at least around here, that it is the luddite that always seems to be the one in charge.

Of course, I have an advantage since hubby works there I find out information that way but I would not be happy if I didn't have that in.

One of my husband's biggest complaints about his kids' schools, as well as their district in general, is that they have websites that NEVER GET UPDATED. More and more of us are used to going to the Internet or the inbox for our information, and I think the schools need to catch up.

They also have a web site which lists things of interest, where announcements are posted regarding letters sent home from school which are sometimes left in lockers, backpacks, etc. (your children probably don't do that???), sports schedules, etc. But I do know it can be done and, as I said, we are a small county with only two public schools - an elementary school and a middle/high school - and probably not a lot of funds for something like this so I don't think there's a large cost. I think all you really need is someone at the school who would be interested in doing this.
