Q: Why would we choose theclasslist™ when there are many off-     the-shelf web authoring programs available?

A: theclasslist™ is specifically designed for schools and the people     who run schools. Because theclasslist™ is an on-line program,     you and your staff can  access and make changes to your site     anywhere there is an Internet connection using our simple     Content Management tools.

Q: Do we want this type of system if we already have a skilled IT     person available to us at our school?

A: Your computer experts will enjoy working with theclasslist™     because it is both sophisticated and easy to maintain. Plus, if     your computer expert is the "super-administrator" for the     program, he or she can add administrators to share much of the     responsibility of keeping the site updated and useful.

Q: Will there be advertising on our school website?

A:  That is entirely up to your school. theclasslist™ includes a      Sponsorship Tool that allows your school to place ads or logos      on the site but that is controlled completely by each school.      Just as you sell ad space in Football Programs and Playbills,      convince local businesses to support your school by adding their      logo to the school site.

Q: Is it possible to post student grades on theclasslist™?

A: All of the information that you put in your school website using     theclasslist™ ends up in the public domain, therefore no student     specific information is stored in theclasslist™ system. However,     theclasslist™ can and should be the portal to all of your web     based software including on-line grading  systems, on-line     attendance systems and any other parent accessible student     information systems available through the internet. Simply     create a link to your on-line grading system that allows the     parents to log in securely to view their child's information. No     longer will your parents need to remember a plethora of urls.     One spot, your school site, will easily allow your parents to     navigate through all of the valuable web based tools that your     school has invested so much time and money into.

Q: What will our school website address be?

A: When you sign up for a theclasslist™ website, your default url     will be a directory of www.theclasslist.com (i.e.     www.theclasslist.com/myschool). If you already have a domain     name registered, we can assist you in getting that pointed     correctly to your new school site. Most domain registration     companies offer url forwarding that will easily direct the web     traffic to your new site. Otherwise, contact theclasslist™     Customer Service and we can help  you through the process.     Costs necessary for url forwarding and domain registration vary.

Q: Can an entire school district use theclasslist™?

A: Yes. We have some small districts that maintain one site for all     of the schools and we have larger districts that maintain a     district site and a separate site for each school within the     district. Our Sales representatives can help you through that     decision making process that makes most sense for your     district.
