The Internet can also help link parents with their children’s schools.
School calendars, assignments, and other types of information can be posted
on a school’s Internet site. School sites can also be used to inform the
community of what a school is doing and how they can help. For example,
the American Schools Directory (www.asd.com), which has created Internet
pages for each of the 106,000 public and private K-12 schools in the country,
includes a “Wish List” on which schools post requests for various kinds of
help. In addition, the ASD provides free e-mail for every student and teacher
in the country.
