The school websites that I researched are the Bloomingdale Public Schools in Bloomingdale, NJ. This is a very structured site that is broken down into subcategories. All three school's in this district have there own personal links and provide specific information about that individual school.
The Martha B Day School is a pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and 1st grade school. There site gives a informative breakdown of the school's education philosophy, school schedule, principle's page and curricula and curricula mapping. There is also a extensive faculty list where parents can look up there child's teacher. Even though the schools activity column is limited due to the young age group this website goes above and beyond with informing parents of updated events.
The Samuel R. Donald School is a 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade elementary school. This website is a bit harder to follow then the Martha B Day School's. It is formatted as a template but also includes such links as principle's page, curricula and curricula mapping, photo's and school closings. All of the scheduling can be found right on the Samuel R. Donald homepage.
The Walter T. Bergen is a 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade middle school. This website definitely is the most informative of all of the Bloomingdale sites. Each grade level is broken down in detail with links to all of the
teacher's personal academic web pages. General information to all school activities and all administration including the nurse page is easily accessible. A printable PDF file is accessible of the schools bells schedule for parent use and convenience.
In conclusion, the information stated in the website is extremely effective and is everything a student, parent, teacher, or administrator would need to explore what the school can offer. Easy access to individual teacher pages for homework updates or school weather announcements is now only a click away. Online photo albums of children and teacher activities makes the Bloomingdale Public School website one that is user friendly to both parents and students.
Good critique. Glad to see you understand how to create direct links.
ReplyDeleteThe Bloomingdale Public School web site sounds like a structured and organized place for students and parents. I like how you broke the website into the separate schools that were within that district. I also think its very important for parents to have access to teacher websites on the school web page. This helps the parents feel connected to their child and what goes on in the child's classroom.
ReplyDeleteWow! They certainly do have access to technology. That might be a good place to find a job as a teacher. I also think that students should have access to information about what they can expect from their school. Curriculum, and to what is expected of them.
