Heya there Polaris website early adopters! Just wanted to let folks know that (inspired by Beth’s list of upcoming events) I’ve set up and configured the Drupal events module. This will allow folks to submit events and have them appear on the public calendar. It’s very roughtly configured this at this point, so things may or may not be fully operational yet. Tomorrow I’ll add Beth’s events as a test.
And I’m doing this in sleep-deprived state with a newborn on my lap, so I’m probably even a bit more error-prone than normal.
You should be able to submit events just like stories. They still need to be reviewed by a moderator. And I know the calendar view is as ugly as sin and doesn’t match the look and feel of the rest of the site. I’ll fix this soon.
Comments and questions are welcome!
Parent Forum met last night. A LOT HAPPENED! These are not official minutes and probably don’t cover everything that was discussed – just my recap.
- After a fun icebreaker facilitated by Kitte, Carol reported that the elementary teachers were adjusting to their new space. Carol and Hilary discussed the UAA Early Childhood Education internships.
- Frank mentioned that he had received several e-mails with concerns about the amount of secondary homework. He asked that people contact teachers first, then cc: Frank. He also asked parents to discuss with their students whether they are using study halls effectively.
The Polaris website is ready for news stories, articles, and information about scheduled events. Anyone can submit information. Simply create an account and click on “submit story” at the top of the page.
