Whether it's sharing information (or bringing in speakers) on Internet safety or college preparedness or connecting families to academics with a program like Family Reading Night -- your group can go far beyond fundraisers and fun nights.
With that in mind, we've recently launched a really simple web plug-in for school and PTO and PTA websites that automatically shares great tips on being a good school parent -- how and when to help with homework, best ways to communicate with teachers, managing the morning madness, etc. -- with all the parents at your school. The "widget" pulls the best content from our sister site, SchoolFamily.com, and displays it and updates it right on your website. Any webmaster can grab the code and add it in just a couple of minutes. You can also feel free to add the same links to your print or email newsletters.
Great teachers teach. Great principals keep effective schools running well. Great parent groups are passionate about helping all of the parents at their school connect and serve. Hopefully, this new web tool will help you do that even better.
