Inglemoor High School - website

The "mission statement" on Inglemoor's website is: "providing a safe, caring environment that fosters lifelong learning and inspires students to develop their full potential as contributing members of a global society." This is, as most mission statements often are, quite a broad look at what the school is attempting to accomplish as an institution. However: it is also a escriptive statement because it shows that the school understands the need for kids to feel safe and secure in order to learn, and that the society their students live in is a global one.

I really apprecite that this website is so comprehensive. There is nothing more annoying than hunting all over for something nline only to find that th information provied is either nonexistent or, at the very best, slightly informative. This website includes:

- a complete bell schedule
- a calendar of events
- a virtual campus tour
- extensive information about the senior "cuminating project"
- information on clubs and activities
- a really informative and user-friendly athletic page
- a comprehensive information page where even district news can be checked out
- multiple parent-related links, as well as a link to the online gradebook for parents to see
- each department nd each teacher in that department has detailed class lists and links to their class "calendars"

I really liked this website - I though that it was very comrehensive and user-friendly. However, it was not as aesthtically pleasing as some I have seen. Eventually, the block letters and yellow and black theme gets a bit redundant - it would be nice to see some diversity - at least on the different teacher and class pages - perhaps things pertaining to the subject matter? (Maps as backgrounds for the history page, etc.) All in all though - I thought that it was a very professional, interactive, and informative site.
