This is a place to document the online efforts of Sagamore Hills Elementary School and its PTA.

Collaboration

To Do

  • Take a look at Oak Grove Elementary School's online presence as a comparable (Hawthorne Elementary School might be worth a look too)
  • Take Vera out of the equation and replace with something future proof, like "Sagamore Online <online@sagamorehillspta.org>". Look at Dreamhost billing, domain registration, and hosting credentials. -- Dave (talk) 20:39, 23 January 2013 (EST)
    • Vera is now out, but only replaced by me. Contact and control should really be by held by the PTA, not an individual. --Dave (talk) 13:49, 5 July 2013 (EDT)
  • Email addresses at sagamorehillspta.org, to forward to appropriate people over time? Like board@, online@, advertise@, etc.?

Done

  • Figure out a name for a shared PTA Google Account (discussion) --Dave (talk) 01:25, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
Done (sagamorehillspta@sagamorehillspta.org) --Dave (talk) 20:32, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
✓ Done! See Sagamore Hills PTA Google account setup --Dave (talk) 18:52, 22 July 2013 (EDT)
✓ Done (by deleting at Manage Domains) --Dave (talk) 17:00, 2 February 2013 (EST)
