Bryan Elementary should retool Web site

Dear editor,

I would like to share some comments regarding the Web site of Bryan Elementary in Morris. The school upgraded their site before the end of the 2008/2009 school year and yet there is still absolutely no information available to parents on the site.

There is not a staff listing, a supply list or even a phone number to the school listed. I feel that this an enormous waste of resources by the school given that parents could easily access the information they need instead of having to call the school and disrupt the activities of the office workers.

In these economic times I am aware of the cuts that the schools have had to make and that is all the more reason to take advantage of the low cost technology as a way to communicate the goals and plans of the school as well as simple day to day activities and needs so that parents can assist both the teachers and their own children.

The school should take advantage of the technology available in order to provide better communication with the parents of their students.

The benefits of an up to date website would be priceless in regard to the relationship of working parents and the school and would assist in providing the students with the additional resources that can make their time at the school even more productive.



Thank you,

Andrea Marcum

  • Gov. Riley: Flowers' claims are false First of all, Flowers wrote that a Senate committee investigation revealed my 2002 campaign received either $600,000 or $2.5 million from out-of-state gambling interests. That absolutely not true. The Senate committee’s report revealed no such thing at all, and my name is not even mentioned in the committee’s report.

  • Tell loved ones how you feel The tagline of “Love Story” was a simple phrase — “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” Today, one of the hottest commercials shows a young man presenting his girl a three-diamond ring. The voice-over says, “Let it say all the things you don’t.”
