Blogging

As another way to provide parents with information about their child's progress, I have asked the staff here at OCS to begin investigating the features and benefits of blogging. The web-log, or Blog, is a great way to provide information and another avenue for parents to use when trying to decipher what a student might have for homework, or may have as upcoming assignments. Let's face it. There are many nights when we as parents experience a great deal of frustration because our little cherub did not bring home the necessary list of homework assignments, or lost it, or your dog ate it! (There have been many of these nights in the Magnuson household over the year's.) These blog sites will allow you to access our web page, click through to the teacher page and then see the blog site for every staff member.

I have been doing this since the start of the school year and I have found the process to be very accessible. Staff have the next few weeks to decide how to best do this and I expect them all to be up an running by the start of the fourth marking period. As teacher's get their pages up and running they will let you know how to find the blog.

Till next time...
