Email services

External news sources
The website can display news items displayed on a different website and available through RSS. For instance school district news or news from the local community can directly appear on the website and get automatically updated.
Online donations
For online donations for any other fundraising activities, the site can display a “Donate” button that uses a PayPal service to collect online payment and directly transfer it to the School PTO / PTA bank account.
Simplified engagement with the parents
In addition to providing a central repository for all relevant documents and school information, the website also greatly simplifies the interaction with the parents for submitting online forms, volunteering for specific activities and for submitting, reviewing and approving school news articles before they appear on the website.
