Dress-Down Days = Website Fundraiser

This drive is extremely important, and I hope that in a few months you will be reading this blog on the new ESUMS website!

"Don't we already have a website?"

The current website, esumsnewhaven.com, is a student production and an exceptionally good one.  But, it does not have the real design and functionality of a professional website.

As the school grows in numbers and complexity, event scheduling and communication become more challenging.  This website will allow all scheduling -- academics, PTO, after-school activities, special events, field trips, testing, etc. -- to be kept in one easily accessible place.

As the high school students apply to colleges, a coherent  online presence can help explain ESUMS's excellence to admissions offices.  As the school seeks outside sponsors, a school website can facilitate fundraising and partnerships.  A good school website is also helpful in recruiting new students, and it can put practical, routine activities online: filling out field trip permission slips, paying trip fees, and communicating with teachers.

Please donate generously to this drive and feel proud every time you click on the link!

ps -- For now, you can donate at the main office or send in a donation with your child.  It the website becomes a reality, you will be able to donate online.  Thank you so much for your support.
