Features of the CWP Blog

The CWP Blog is the “go to” place for all information on the CWP activities, so be sure to bookmark it right away. The blog has many features to help everyone to stay up-to-date with what is going on in our efforts to make Central Elementary and our children’s educations excel.

First in the left column is a place to subscribe to all of the blog posts. By entering your email address and pressing “Submit,” you will automatically receive emails when a post has been published on the CWP blog. We may also use the subscriber list to send out important emails.

Below that is a list of important posts that you may want to refer to for general information. You can also access posts using the search box and the archives.

Next is the Facebook application. With a single click, you can become a fan of CWP on Facebook. Blog posts will also be posted on the CWP fan page, which will then show in your newsfeed on Facebook.

Last on the left side is the CWP parent volunteers. The number of parents posted on the blog page is limited so that the blog is not overwhelmed. To see the entire list of parents and their contact information, just click the link below the names. You can also click here. The same page has a place to submit your information and to volunteer to help with upcoming activities.

On the right column, the first thing is our request for parent volunteers. We can’t stress enough how much we love to have more parents help with CWP and the activities. We know every parent has a strong desire for the best education for their child, and the CWP’s purpose is to achieve the best education for Central Elementary students. Just follow the link to the parent list and fill out the short form to let us know you want to volunteer. (Please note that the parent list does not update automatically when you submit your info.)

After that is a search feature for the blog. If you are looking for specific information, type in a keyword or two, and this will search the blog for the info you are requesting.

Next is the CWP calendar. Click on it and it will show all of the current dates and deadlines for activities. If you have Google calendar, just click on an event, and then you can automatically add the event to your personal calendar. (How sweet is that?!)

If you have an idea or suggestion on how to improve the blog and communication or know of another cool widget that we absolutely need to add, please do not hesitate to let us know. You can submit a comment to this post or email or call any parent involved with CWP. We would like to be able to respond to your ideas, so if you respond with a comment on the blog, please be sure to sign in with an email address and not post anonymously.

The CWP blog is a wonderful tool that will assist the CWP in passing along information to all parents who are interested. We are dedicated to being a fantastic organization for parents and teachers to further enrich our children’s educations.
