It is clear that the majority of the users really enjoy the Washington web site. To continue its success, the web site should continue its frequent updates, wonderful graphics, and great organization. Although many respondents were happy with the amount of content available on the web site, several external visitors commented that only some classrooms are represented. The district has a phase in plan that will eventually train each teacher to post classroom information, but that plan is only in early stages of the plan. Perhaps a method could be devised that would allow for all teachers to have at least a small amount of information on-line.
Most parents are extremely happy with the web site.
However, some of the visitors from outside Pekin might benefit from single access page that downloads quickly yet provides links for them to the major content sections of the site. This would allow them access the information that they need while avoiding any download problems. It's very frustrating for visitors who take the time to ask questions and send comments but end out not knowing if their messages were received. Create a better linkage between e-mail and the web site. For example, if parent e-mail addresses were collected, messages regarding new updates to the web site could be sent out directly to them.
