Ptsa 2.0? - Seattle,WA

All of our schools PTA's ans PTSA's are paperless so they are online.
YOU should volunteer to begin it at your schools.. Get a committee together willing to run the site. .

At all of our daughters schools they had a Sunday night weekly update with all events. This was the weekly schedules, special events, special practices, cancellations.. etc.. Wed.. they did shout outs to congratulate and recognize the students, teachers etc..

It works great.. For families with out internet, the monthly newsletters can still be mailed to them.. We also had a group of parents, that refurbish computers and try to match them up with these families..

Several of our children's PTAs have used yahoogroups to keep in touch with parents about events. A listserv seems to be something people are fairly familiar with, can get behind, and they can choose how they get messages. It works for us.

As long as those without PC's don't have to feel like they are missing anything it would be fine. But if there were issues exclusively handled by computer only that would be a problem.

I think it would be Wonderful to put more info online for parents who cant attend

I think it might be a great idea but think it depends on the area... For instance my kids principle is so behind the times, otherwise a great guy, that I am sure he would ax it right away! I am not too familiar with it but I always welcome new ways to help parents keep in touch and help out the way they can! Good luck!
