CONTINUING ISSUES FOR APP The combination of talented and dedicated teachers and administrators along with interested and enthusiastic parents helps explain the ongoing vitality of the Accelerated Progress Program. APP teachers, parents and administrators are always working to make this outstanding program even better. Some continuing issues for APP this year are curriculum, communication and cooperation of parents, teachers and administrators within and among schools. All parents are invited to become involved in this ongoing effort.

APP INFORMATION HERE
This is a two-column section for any information you want to put in.

This website comes with this home page plus 10 extra pages. The 10 extra pages show in a list in the upper left of the site once they are created.

The extra pages would be a good place to post a copy of the APP Parent Newsletter, the School Calendar, a list of School Board Meetings, the APP Homework Policy, etc. A reader would click on the title of the item and go to a separate page where it would display. I've included an example of an extra page in the upper left ("APP HOMEWORK POLICY").

The graphics you see here (the eagle and the key) can both be changed to anything you want. If you had an APP logo it would be good to replace the eagle with that. The font and the background color of the page can also be changed very easily.

APP INFORMATION HERE
You can put graphics anywhere you want on the site, with captions: Here is an example:

This is an eagle.

In the left column there's a Links Section where you can list website links for sites you want your readers to be able to access from this page. I put in a few sample links, including the Spectrum/APP forum.

You can also install download commands anywhere you want on your page. So if you wanted to distribute a document to your readers, such as the Chronology of APP, for instance, you could offer the ability to download that document right here:

Please download: Chronology of the Accelerated Progress Program (APP).

Or you can put pop up links for documents anywhere on the site so readers can go directly to a certain document. For instance you might want to tell your readers: "To learn about the history of APP, see the Chronology of the Accelerated Progress Program (APP)."

MEMBERSHIP MANAGEMENT TOOLS
The site also comes with a membership list feature and email. You can keep the entire membership of APP in a database at the site and then email everyone at once or individually. In the left column you'll see part of the membership displayed. Readers can click on any underlined name and send an email to that person directly. You don't have to display the membership on the home page, however.

At the very bottom of the page there is a contact box. Readers can email you (or whoever you pick to maintain the site) to ask questions and add themselves to your email list.

To create this site and maintain it, all you have to be able to do is type and learn a couple of really simple code commands to make paragraph breaks and bold or italicize words. Anyone can keep this site up. You will not need a special "webmaster."

Click on my name in the left column to email me if you would like to talk more about this or if you want me to explain it to anyone else. You can have anyone you want to look at this go to: www.orgsites.com/wa/apptaskforce. That is the site address for this sample site. I gave you the user id and password in the email I sent you.
