Sagamore reference

This is a work in progress (as of 2013-07) to provide a comprehensive reference for Sagamore Hills Elementary School. Ideas here could influence official Sagamore sites.

Take a look at (and contribute to) Sagamore information inventory 2013, Sagamore communication, and whatever else you can find. Then, edit this to be all Sagamore answers to everyone. :)

Email or join the Sagamore discussion list to… discuss.

By Site

It's appropriate that some content be on the School site, and some on the PTA site, but which goes where?
