Thanks for your answer Caroline,

Here are some answers to your questions:

The truth is that I work as a swimming teacher with small kids, and that is the environment I'm thinking about. I said "kindergarden" to make the environment easy to picture. But both are very similar.

1. How many kindergarten classes are in the school?
Many, many. Around 350 courses a year.

2. Does the school have more then just kindergarten?
Swimming classes for adults also, but that is not a problem.

3. What percentage of the parents do you think currently have email addresses that they already check regularly?
All of them, or at least 95%.

4. Are you anticipating the children are going to use the system at all?
Nope. They are very small.

5. Will the teachers be accessing the system from home or shcool or both?
Don't know yet. Problably home.

6. Will specialist teachers be using the system (ie gym, art etc.)

7. Is there a need for non-teachers to communicate with specific
student's parents (for example, special needs programs, pull out reading groups).
Administrative personal, absolutely.
