Website of the Month

 

THIS MONTH'S WEBSITE OF THE MONTH IS:

The School of Saint James, Basking Ridge
http://www.sjsbr.org/

This is a full information site for the parent - find everything with just three clicks!

It is the site of an up-to-date monthly calendar and a wealth of other information; an important component in the school's effort to go "paperless" as soon as possible.

A clean design and clear navigation make it easy to use and provides almost endless information. Best yet, this website flows out of the computer literacy goal of their Middle States Action Plan.

Congratulations!
