Boyd School gets Web site
In its short history, Boyd Christian School has earned a reputation as one of the more technologically advanced schools of its size. That reputation will soon be expanded with the addition of a school Web site.
Designed by Boyd English teacher and resident computer expert Suzanne Reed, the site will be an important addition to technology already employed by the school, president C.N. Womack said. These include two Internet-connected computer labs, a computerized grading system, and a completely networked system.
The impetus for creating the site, Womack said, came from a desire to keep parents better informed.
“A lot of people called asking about our Web site, so we decided we better have one,” said Womack. “This is just another way of achieving good communication between school and home. It will be a real addition to us. We’re going to get a lot out of this.”
In addition to such information as the school’s history, mission statement and philosophy, the Web site will provide users with an abundance of information concerning Boyd activities. There will be a school calendar, an explanation of upcoming events, school notices and reminders, a list of sports teams and schedules, and a description of the school’s organizations and clubs.
Each teacher will also have a page linked to the site on which they will be able to showcase their classes. Here parents can view lesson assignments and information about field trips, class projects and other school-related topics.
Currently under construction, Boyd’s Web site, boydchristianschool.com, should be operational sometime within the next two weeks.
