Connecting Parents – Back-to-School with GoWebBuilder PTA Website Builder Software

It’s the end of August and that means that if you haven’t already sent the kids back to school you will be very shortly. Back-to-school time is always a stressful time, no matter what role you play. If you’re a parent, this time of year means you get to spend hours in the store buying school supplies, trying on new clothes and finding the perfect Hannah Montana backpack or Spiderman lunch pail. Since most of your time is taken up in just getting everything crossed of the to-do list, it’s hard to imagine squeezing in yet another volunteer job for the PTA.

If you’re a teacher, this time of year is a mixed blessing. While the chaos of the first day of school can be overwhelming, it’s nice to get back to the kids and get a fresh start on the new school year. However, going back to school for teachers can require just as much shopping and probably more planning then many students or parents realize. So when it comes to recruiting volunteers to help with special projects or helping the PTA plan their big fall fundraiser, it can often seem like you don’t have enough time to get all these things done.

That’s where Connecting Parents can help. Because we understand that the best thing we can do for our children’s education is to get more people involved, Connecting Parents is working hard to make it less time-consuming and just plain easier to plan events and get parents and teachers involved. Our GoWebBuilder PTA website builder software makes its easy for anyone to create a PTA website as well as keep it up-to-date so that all the parents and teachers in your community can stay on top of current news, projects or needs your organization has.

The other great benefit of using GoWebBuilder is that it is so easy to use that any volunteer will be able to take on the task of creating or updating your site. This means that even a parent with little-to-no web experience can quickly make changes or develop new pages for your website.
