[Sagamore Online] Evaluating online directory solution

[Dave Barker as Communications of PTA at Sagamore Hills Elementary School]

I've established a trial account to evaluate a school directory (and
other things) manager called MySchoolAnywhere
<https://myschoolanywhere.com/>.  I'm still checking it out, and will
share my opinion later, but I wanted to share some links in case anyone
else cares to join in.

    add)
  * Pricing <https://www.myschoolanywhere.com/pricing.html>
  * Introductory videos

    (copies I made after gaining access)

I'm primarily looking at it as a directory creation helper—data entry
that parents themselves can contribute to and time saving for the
directory compiler.  That alone might be worth the expense (the PDF for
the printer that the process creates). I think the system might allow
parents (or the PTA) to purchase printed directories on-demand as well,
which might be neat.

There are other features which could be handy too, like volunteer
coordination and accepting payments online, but I'm think about other
solutions too for those functions (more later).

I heard about the product almost 2 years ago from Sagamore parent, Peter
Helander, who says he's experienced it as a parent at another school
(I've CC'ed him in).
