The Hickory Tree Elementary School Website Was The MostInformative And Complete

Jeanine pointed out that when you go to the Osceola CountySchool District website, they have links to all the schools in thecounty. All the websites were all in a uniform standard formathowever, Jeanine wanted to give kudos to Principal Alison Doe. TheHickory Tree Elementary website had all the pertinent informationon the Homepage.

Jeanine also noticed that not all websites have a letter fromthe principal, so she had a tough time finding who was thePrincipal at certain schools. And finally, the calendar of eventstab was on all websites, however, when you clicked on it most ofthem were empty.

That’s why Jeanine was able to find the list of events forHickory Tree for March, it was right there and easy to find. Forall the other Principals that are listening, go look at the HickoryTree website because whoever is handling it did a great job.
