What should I do after I sign-up ? |
| |
Please view this 10 minute introductory demo - it will help you use our site. We have also provided some tips and links below:
Invite people you know and trust
* Parents - friends, relatives from your school, work, neighborhood etc.
* Teachers/Administrators from your school, district etc.
Once you log in through our home page, click on the Invite Parents or Invite Teachers link on the left side bar to send out invitations. If you do not have someone's email address, just ask them to visit our website to request an invitation from there. Here are links to relevant "how to" tours: Joining our Network, Logging in to our Network, Inviting others to join the network
Meet/get to know network members from your district/city, school, grade, classroom
On your My Account page, click on the School Groups circle and see who you are automatically connected to (based on information you provide in your School Profile). This feature provides you with an online "directory" which is linked to user profiles. Our network has spread to 500+ schools in 40+ states across the nation. If you are one of the first members from your school, please help get the word out by inviting school staff, PTA members, parent volunteers etc. (check out these resources to help you build your network and also this success story case study). Here is a link to a relevant "how to" tour: Viewing members in your School Groups
Update and control your profile/content
Click on Edit Profile on the left side bar - add a parent, children/school, a photo, and occupation/education/hobbies/interests information. Please note that most fields are optional, and you can control who views your detailed profile/content using your My Groups page. Here is a link to a relevant "how to" tour: Creating and Controlling your Family Profile
Start a blog/sign-up sheet if you are a Staff/PTA member or parent volunteer
If you have information others may be interested in/need to know or you would like to create a sign-up sheet, please start a blog by going to the Blogs section and clicking on Create Blog - save time, increase convenience/communication efficiency (fewer phone calls) and parental involvement (check out “SPN Room Parent Process”). Here are links to relevant "how to" tours: Create Blog/Sign-up sheet, View Blog/Sign-up sheet, Sign-up Sheet Examples
Create a group for your Summer Camp, local Soccer/Little League club, Mothers club, Church, Employer, HOA etc.
You can create an online directory for clubs/groups that you may be part of. On your My Account page, click on the Interest Groups circle to create your group. Once your group is created, other members can join it, and you will then have a group directory plus the capability to filter content created by these members. Here is a link to a relevant "how to" tour: Creating/Joining Interest Groups
Improve purchase decisions through referrals
You can learn from and share information with other parents who have very similar needs - go to the References/Classified section and let others know about things your family likes (a local restaurant or park, a must-have toy, etc.). Please use the Notify me when updated feature to set-up email notification for content in the reference (or forums, blogs) sections that interests you. Here is a link to a relevant "how to" tour: Share/Seek Referrals/Know-how using message boards
