We also look forward to Career Day scheduled for Thursday, May 3^rd. Our 7^th & 8^th graders participate every year as they explore different options for their near future. Several area community members and parents are invited to address our students about their profession on that particular day. Please contact Mrs. Arshad if you're interested in sharing your exciting career with us! The Parent Involvement Program and the Safe & Drug Free Committees have also been hard at work.

Parent Community

Parental Involvement is a key component to the success of any school. Community School Builder provides many tools to strengthen your parent involvement and community building initiatives.

Parents can subscribe to their child's teacher pages so any new items posted to the web site will also be emailed to subscribers.

Student Community

Students will always be up to date with school events through the school calendar, daily announcements, teacher pages, and much more.
Students can participate in their own moderated forums to share ideas, ask questions about their homework, or start their online community.
Students can also post comments about articles on the website, subscribe to their teachers pages, or even have their own pages if the school so chooses.

Teacher Community

Teachers will have their own pages that they can edit very easily or post new items to their pages that provide a powerful communication platform for fellow teachers, students, parents, administrators, and all other stakeholders.

Professional development is available for teachers through an online learning management system or they can produce their own tutorials or podcast for their students.

Community School Builder uses one of the most powerful open source content management systems on the planet. We provide the service of web hosting, site development, professional development, and customer support. The package that we put together for schools provides an extremely effective communication platform to help foster a strong school community!
