Haha, just when I think I'm making progress...
I think I should explain the purpose of this project a little bit more. This student directory is not for general school office purposes. This directory will replace a paper directory that is given to each parent. It is a small primary school, with no more than about 200 students. The main purpose of this directory is for parents to be able to contact other parents for birthday parties, event planning, fundraising, etc...as well as students to be able to contact other students for homework and project discussion.
Once it is complete, it will be integrated with some form of membership/authorization script so that the information inside is not open to the public.
Ideally we would also like to have the ability for parents to edit their own contact information.
On the topic of addresses, many students (my son included), do have two households. In my case, in particular, my son needs both his mother's address/contact info listed, as well as mine.
On the phones/cell topic, we use one phone number as the "main", most predominantly displayed number. This is the number that will display next to the student's name, and will generally be a home phone number. The cell phone numbers are optional, and will only be displayed for each parent who so choses to list theirs. We will not handle student cell phones and we don't need work phone numbers.
I think this is a bit more of a casual directory, if that makes sense.
I'm heading out to pick my son up and get an oil change, so I'll be brainstorming this some more and checking this thread from my mobile
Thanks again guys!
