Schools using new technologies

The Snoqualmie Valley School District has embraced new technology to communicate online with students, parents and the community. The district is using e-mail, RSS feeds and a comprehensive e-calendar to help people stay up to date with what’s going on in the schools.

The Snoqualmie Valley School District has embraced new technology to communicate online with students, parents and the community. The district is using e-mail, RSS feeds and a comprehensive e-calendar to help people stay up to date with what’s going on in the schools.

The new tools are also helping save money. The district expects to save $20,000 by ditching a printed calendar in favor of the online version. Events can be viewed by school or type. All ten schools will eventually list their events on the e-calendar. Currently, only three schools — North Bend Elementary School, Chief Kanim Middle School and Twin Falls Middle School — have events listed.

Hard copies of the calendar can be printed from the Web site.
