Abstract

The purpose of this project is to improve the communication between parents and the faculty and staff at Sky Country Elementary School through the development of an interactive school web page. In particular, keeping parents aware of school activities and achievements that their children are involved in. The project was developed based on the needs of the parents, teachers and staff at Sky Country Elementary School. The research looks at how schools are currently communicating with parents and how better home/school communication increases parent involvement which leads to higher student achievement. The last element of research looks at how to properly design a web site. The website is composed of pages that were indicated by parents and teachers to be of value.
