What is a Web Parent?
A "Web
Parent" is a volunteer position for each elementary classroom ,
similar to the traditional room parent, but focusing their efforts
in assisting the classroom teacher on creating a web page for that
classroom and updating the web page throughout the school year. Due
to the fabulous parent support in our school district, we were able to
recruit enough Web Parents for this effort. A complete list of the
Web Parents is available at our website.
The Web Parent
and the classroom Teacher become "Web Parent Partners" and
collaborate with other web parents and teachers on learning new skills
together, and adopting and advancing Internet literacy. Our Educational
Service Unit has provided training for our web parents and classroom
teachers on web page development skills and Internet skills.
