Parent+Reflections

// I have long struggled with knowing what is happening with my children for all things music and when and where they need to be for what performance. // // Despite notes home and letters I have never seemed to be able to quite get the full load of details I need to make sure my kids are in the right place at the right time. (My daughter is not the best at handing over what parents need to know!) // // Since the music department have started with a wiki and on line messages I am now sorted. // // I have been so pleased with the way this system works. // // I have been able to log on and find out in advance what music events are scheduled. // // I get up dates via my home email and even better I can check each group and see what is happening. // // I have liked the photo access too as sometimes I don't get to see my daughter perform. // // The whole set up is so much easier for me and is so simple that even though I struggle with all the new IT stuff I can follow the site and find out what I need to know. // // It is certainly an excellent parent friendly resource. // (parent)

//I am a full-time working parent and at times travel extensively with my job. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge my experience with the Chisnallwood Music Wikispaces, which has played a crucial part to the planning and management of my son’s music activities.//

//It has been the "Go to Point" for all the information I need surrounding my sons involvement in his music activities. While away from home I was able to view photos of all his performances, even though I could not be there, I got huge enjoyment and satisfaction by being able to view these photos.//

//The varied and multiple links that are provided on the site have proofed to be not only informative but invaluable. As a parent it has allowed me to participate more fully in my son’s musical journey//.
