I added “Google Calendar” button on the right column.
You simply click on the button, and you will be guided to our calendar items.
The only issue is that, if you don’t have a Google Account, you will have to create one and that’s extra 5 minutes of your time… Once you have your Google Account, come back to our blogsite, click on the Google Calendar button, and Voila!!! a small pop up window will ask if you’d like to “add” a calendar “FOG”. Press Yes, and you will have our calendar items on your Calendar.
It’s a free service and a good tool for us to keep tracks of upcoming events.

If you have any questions, let me know.

RE: MEETINGS/COMMUNICATION

There’s a lot of activity on the horizon with more and more people joining the PTA, touring the school, and getting involved… so, it is critical that we MEET in the 3rd or 4th week of January to discuss logistics, communication, and where we go from here.

Prior to the meeting…

1. If you haven’t already done it, PLEASE drop by the school any week day by 3pm or so and JOIN THE PTA (only $6 per membership).

2. Call Asst. Principal Abby Cabrera or Principal Rosenblum and arrange a tour of the school. They’re happy to assist after Jan. 1.

3. Spread the word. Each time I’m outside I am seeing yet more and more strollers being pushed by people I’ve yet to meet. If you know someone who might be interested, please get their info for Kaye so she can put them on the blog.

If you want to offer your house as a place for the next meeting, let me know. Otherwise we can see if either the school or Atwater library can accomodate us.

Take care,
Jordan

I am creating this post so we have a place to discuss the progress of creating a website for the PTA (and one for the school).

Also, if people have ideas and/or suggestions on what the website(s) should include, maybe this would be a good place to get them heard first. This can be a sounding board.

1. October – I spoke with the woman who created and maintains Ivanhoe’s websites, and made a list which I typed up into an informal proposal which I gave to Roxanne, the president of the PTA after the Oct. PTA board meeting. At that time she told me the PTA has been planning to do a website but hasn’t had the time or resources. In that proposal I mentioned there would be costs to maintain the domain, so that will not be a surprise to the PTA board. We should have more specific numbers when we bring it up at the PTA association meeting though.

Sidenote – for various reasons it makes sense to have two websites – an official school site and a PTA site. Also, a calendar is essential, and a database of parents emails would help in sending out announcements. Once again, the PTA has already started creating a database but apparently has not really utilized it yet.

If you would like to see my notes from my Ivanhoe talk or the proposal I typed up please email me at thewarroom@mac.com and I will get them to you.

2. Nov. 2 – Kei registered the domain “friendsofglenfeliz.com”.

3 Nov. 11 – Promila Singh graciously offered to do a PTA website, and I forwarded her all my notes so she can make a more informed decision about whether or not she will have the time to spare.

4. Nov. 13 – Currently I am still waiting to hear back from Roxanne about a couple separate issues, so I figured I’d wait until the next PTA association meeting (Dec. 14) to discuss the website more. There is a board meeting Dec. 7 but that is not the right forum for new proposals.

Thanks,

Tim
