We began preparing for this about a year ago. We offered training sessions last year and over the summer. Teachers use FrontPage 2000 to create and update their sites. Teachers post daily or weekly assignment information. We informed parents and students that the web sites should be used as guides.
Most teachers still require students to keep assignment notebooks.
The teacher web sites have been well received by parents and students. It was my decision to require faculty web sites, however the Middle School faculty members were very supportive and interested in the project. Faculty training was very important. Faculty members familiar with FrontPage offered the training sessions and served as mentors. When parents request homework we refer them to the faculty web pages.
