This is the ninth year that teachers
have had their own websites. Northwest Middle School was a pioneer
school in Greenville County in making the connection between teacher and
parent through the Internet a school-wide program. I developed an awards
program to reward teachers for outstanding web presence. First, in 2001
with the Jayaruh Pretty Good Award, then in 2002 with the Jayaruh's Gold
Web Award.
In 2003 I began the Northwest Panther Pride Award.
It is
presented to teachers of Northwest Middle School who show exceptional
pride in the construction and maintenance of their teacher websites.
This year
Mrs. Pratt's website received the Best of the Web award from
Greenville County Schools. She was one of ten middle school
websites recognized for this distinction.
Currently, websites are judged for their
completeness, timeliness, and student achievement.
We hope you find our teacher websites to
be useful and informative. Please feel free to email your teachers with
comments or suggestions on how they may improve their websites. Remember
that this is a new experience for many and that educating your student
takes first priority in the schedules of all our teachers. Teacher
websites will evolve and get better as teachers get more comfortable
with the technology.
Thank you for your patience and your
interest in Northwest Middle School.
