Directory Orders

The PTO would like to thank you for your patience with the directory difficulties this year.  Although there were about 200 families affected by this, we think that the online entry system worked quite well.  We had a high school student design and maintain the database and was able to count that towards his Silver Chord hours for graduation.  He did a wonderful job and we thank him for his efforts.

Each year the directory is a very time consuming project.  In the past we have had a wonderful set of volunteers who have overseen this project.  The new database entry system reduced the time that it took to manually enter each family, nevertheless, it still required a significant amount of volunteer time.

  We are always looking for help and if you have any ideas on ways to streamline this project even more, we would be grateful if you want to volunteer to help with it next year.  

Again, we appreciate your patience and understanding and hope that the PTO will be able to continue to offer the directory in the future.  We can assure you that we will be researching companies before the start of the next school year to ensure that we do not have any problems with data loss in the future.
