This teacher’s method of
communicating with the parents and community was mainly through the newsletter.
The newsletter communicates with parents what is happening in the classroom,
what upcoming events are happening and what information needs to be relayed to
the parents. I didn’t think there was much information on the website for the
community beside the Long Range Plans and Meet Your Teachers. This gives the
community a glimpse into the classroom and what are the general goals. For the
students there were several items. For one there was the class schedule. This
allowed students to know how their day would be going. Also there were
activities and study aids such as Popcorn Words and ABC’s of Kindergarten.
These are all great resources for students to utilize.
From sifting through the website I
would guess they update their website every few weeks or so. I believe the core
elements of the website remain constant and the items that change continuously
are updated as necessary. This is a very basic and straightforward website and
I would recommend they explore the possibility of adding more resources on the
site for their audiences.

Information
They
are communicating with their parents by providing several links that parents
can explore to get an idea of how their student’s day and learning looks. This
will allow them to be involved in their student’s life and be able to be
informed about what is happening. I think this website tailors perfectly to the
students. There are several categories that are applicable to the students and
what they are learning. This site offers students several links to help them
with the subjects they are learning and allows them to utilize these resources
outside of the classroom. In regards to the community, this site did include a
section regarding Kids for Running.
Under this section there were links that directed to involvement
opportunities and volunteer opportunities.
I
would say this information is updated on a semi/bi-weekly basis. The
information on it, such as the involvement opportunities, must be kept up to
date and current. However, the links that lead to resources should be checked
on regularly just in case something happens with the link but otherwise it
doesn’t need to be updated as frequently.
This is why I would say this information is updated in that time frame. I
would recommend maybe adding more resources such as games to make the website
more interesting and fun for the students.

Out
of all the websites this was my favorite. I felt that it was the most
organized, informative and creative. There is a nice photo spread on the front
page and all of the tabs and links worked smoothly. The website addressed
parents, students and the community adequately. For the parents there were
photos, background information, ways to get involved, contact information and
more. For students there were games, projects, photos, and several resources
for various subjects. I felt as though whatever the question was, a parent,
student or community member would be able to find the address through the
website. Even if they couldn’t find it on the website they would be able to
locate the contact information to find the answer.
The
resources on this page were vast and all encompassing. I believe they updated
their information on a weekly basis or bi-weekly because the information is
current and well formatted. What impressed me the most though was the numerous
resources for everyone but in particular the involvement opportunities for the
community to participate in.
