Hi, I really like the Grade 2 website. However, like many other sites, I forget that it is there. Have you thought about sending a broadcast email to all Gr 2 parents when you post new stuff? Or maybe a weekly email reminder? You could put a link to the site in the email. I would visit the site more often if reminded of it.
Thanks,
Amy (Nik’s mom)
Also — info about Lara out of date; need to change to Tima?
