Leon Gall is a teacher at Public School 131. He uses eMerge to keep in touch with his students and their parents. He's found that sending notes home using e-mail is the only way to guarantee that they don't get lost and that the parents actually see them!
Report Card uses eMerge to compile each student's report card and send it home to their parents. Leon has included two optional fields «comment» and «appointment». He uses these when he has a special comment to make on the student's work, or if he wants to make an appointment to see the parents. These two fields often include variables, such as the child's name, so that he can used pre-written comments and let eMerge automatically customize them.
Parent/Teacher Night uses eMerge to set up a string of appointments for each semester's Parent Teach Night.
