The school site with Surrey Schools, is well organized, especially if you're a parent. All teachers listed, there, all assignments under the parents (the choice of the teachers to use this). Under the parent section it's easy to find what a parent would want to see. But how do you tell if parents are coming to your site? You can use a google tracker or other site analysis programs online. But the easiest thing to do is use a blog.
Updates to our school site is constant, with the office staff taking a lead role, working in conjunction with the administration at our school. One of our girls (Juanita) updates almost every day. The main page is where she works the most but as I said we still don't know if parents are coming to it unless we ask for an analysis from our IT people. Two years ago we had a blog attached to our old site and when we migrated over to the new system (SurreySchools.ca) we brought our blog with us. Take a look. Most schools now have one.
Sullivan Heights is proud to be actively engaging in 21st Century technologies when communicating with our community. As part of our efforts, we have discontinued our bi-monthly publication of large school newsletters (with the exception of our annual August mail-out) and instead we are using technologies which include Twitter (Our Twitter Feed), a news blog (News Blog) and our home page (Home).
We encourage our communicty to follow us in any of these systems and parents have responded with a 1000 emails now listed on BCeSIS for teachers to email parents any concerns, or just comments about their children.
Below is a list of views, today, yesterday, notice last month of our school blog and the total since we started this a year ago. Notice our traffic, which is constant all day. Many parents have signed up for the emails to their phones to keep in contact with our school. They enjoy the fact that they can read the quick and easy blog text sent to their phones.
Traffice is from google, with people searching for Sullivan Heights, and as you can see most of our traffic is from Canada. This is just one of many ways we keep in contact with our parents and students. We even use tags so parents can look up specific entries that relate to what they want (i.e. dry grad). I recommend this manner of communication to any school.
