You may want to forward this to the kindergarten teacher, or to the classroom parent of your child's kindergarten class has one. They are in the best position to start a community for the class and include the entire class. @ Miranda: I’m glad you like it.

It looks like a really valuable tool. With my son starting Kindergarten this year, I think that this could really help with what expect will be an increasing amount of scheduling needs.

I don't have kids yet, but I can think of a couple of friends that might be interested in this. Just like everyone else here, I admire your energy! Good luck, Vered.

I noticed that you joined our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=21926786364" rel="nofollow">Facebook group</a>. Thank you. @ <strong>San Diego Momma</strong>: Thank you. It would be great if you could check it out, and spread the word to other parents - especially classroom parents and sports team coaches that would be able to start a community for their classroom or sports team. Re: fashion advice... New York, a long weekend, October... that's easy! A couple pairs of stylish jeans, a couple pairs of black pants, 4 basic tops that you can wear during the day (here is your chance to add a little color), a black jacket or a neutral-colored (black, gray, winter white) long sweater, walkable shoes, a little black dress and a pair of heels for going out at night. I think that should do it. :) @ <strong>Chris</strong>: If you can add a link to UpToUs on your school's website, that would be AWESOME. Even if you can't, just spreading the word among teachers and classroom parents would be great - we are mostly going for a bottom-up approach, relying on classroom parents or individual teachers to adopt UpToUs as a tool for their classroom. Since it is such as useful tool, we are confident that once a classroom uses it, other classrooms will start using it too. Thanks again. I emailed you. :) @ Shilpan: Thank you so much for your support! I noticed that you joined our Facebook group. Thank you.

I'll definitely check it out. A resource like this is much needed in my household.

I'm a father of two teenagers. It's hard to believe that in few years they both will be in college. Nonetheless this information helps. I'm part of your group already. Cheers! Shilpan Vered -

Give it a try! Energy? What energy? I need more sleep. :) @ <strong>Linda</strong>: Slept until 9 today. Heaven. Ido took the kids camping (I don't do camping), so I'm working! Does that answer your question? :) @ Evelyn: While UpToUs is mostly geared towards the United States, it can certainly be used internationally.
Give it a try!
