While it may seem a bit traditional, a flyer sent home seems to work.
My sixth (and final) daughter is now in the eighth grade. Since my oldest
31 year old has gone to school, we have received little notices in the
takehome folder, backpack, envelope or other fun place that covers most of
the details. I have even been refused an offer to go on a field trip
because there was not enough room for all of the parents who wanted to go
(especially some of the fun places like the bakery).
Thanks
Ted

Well Ted if we need to not advertize field trips for parents on the
website...is there a way to have a secure source of information transfer?
Parents to contact school, school to contact parents...???

Virginia,
I know this will sound a bit ridiculous, but putting field trip information
on web sites is like a billboard for problems.
Most schools don't do things like this because it can attract the wrong type
of participant. Our children have gone to a lot of school that used to have
name tags on the kids during field trips. Now they have tags but no names.
The names seem to allow people to identify a child, talk to the child by
name (no stranger now) and some abductions have occurred.
Advertizing that 20 to 30 kids will be at a given location at a given time
is great for the families but not so good for the community.
Your second point about keeping web sites up to date is very, very
important. I work with a lot of volunteer organizations who keep web sites
and after the first two months, the information is virtually useless. They
are a lot like bulletin boards. If they don't change very often or have out
of date information, no one looks any more.
Just thinking out loud here.
Ted

I would think that web sites would be good ways to integrate planning for
families. Schools could add their schedules of field trips, etc so families
could plan ahead and work out arrangements. Web sites can be a good two way
communication media but important contributors have to update regularly...I
think it has great potential in partnership relationships of all kinds.

Don't forget the use of scanners in parent and child technology experiences.
Children's artwork can be scanned, along with photographs or pictures, then
children and parents can add text to create books, signs, etc.
