[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 309083, member: 7083"] It can be even easier than that. Our students have an ID card with their picture on it. This card is used for everything they do in school - library, media center, lunch, etc. I can go online and put money on the card for lunch. I can see what my child has purchased for lunch back to the beginning of the school year. I can go online and check my child's grades and missing assignments. Most teachers have smartboards in their classrooms now and a lot of teachers just whisk what they did on the smartboard right onto their teacher page on the school website. Of course, those things depend on the teacher. Some textbooks are even online, so if they forget to bring their book home, they can view it online. One of the days difficult child was sick, I forgot to call her off. At 10am, I got an automated phone call and, simultaneously, and email. So, it really wouldn't be much work to have an automated system set up so that when a student swipes their card to check out a book, an email is sent to the parents. There could even be an option to flag a child's account so that the parent has to approve the book before it can be checked out. [/QUOTE]
