MACEDON, N.Y., May 10, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Magnatag makes planning an entire school year's worth of activities easy with its Principal's GiantYear(tm) Classic 365-Day Planning Calendar magnetic whiteboard kits.
"Keeping track of a school's complete year schedule and making sure that everyone is informed at all times is a challenge for many administrators," says Wally A. Krapf, founder and president of Magnatag Visible Systems. "With the Principal's GiantYear whiteboard calendar system, the full school year is displayed in one place, allowing teachers and staff to see upcoming meetings, fire drills, school events and holidays all at the same time. It keeps your team looking at the full picture all year long."
The magnetic dry-erase Principal's GiantYear(tm) whiteboard is available in three sizes to meet a wide range of school scheduling needs. Activities and plans can be posted using up to 50 different color combinations. That flexibility allows every event to be identified in just one glance, even in the busiest schools.
Tools included in the Principal's GiantYear(tm) board kit are dry-erase pens in four colors, magnetic dates, months, status signal magnets, optional cardholders and cards in multiple colors for quickly locating and making changes. The Letter-Easy(tm) PC template allows users to quickly and easily print customized card inserts for the magnetic cardholders from any computer -- allowing customers to track specific events and activities unique to their school.
Additional Magnatag products for schools include hourly and daily scheduling systems, class scheduling boards, as well as products for principals and other school department administrators.
In the classic calendar format everyone is familiar with, the Principal's GiantYear 365-Day whiteboard kit is one of Magnatag's more popular systems, in use by teachers and administrators across the country:
* "It is our master calendar. Parents love it and I know at a glance what is going on all the time. It gives me complete control. We put all our music programs, testing, Red Ribbon Week, everything: if it is not on the board it is not happening." -- Elementary School Principal, Lawrence KS * "There is no other way to get the 'big picture,' those little web and computer calendars don't cut it. Ours is in the main office where all the staff can see it and know what is going on in other grades and after school. We love it." -- Guidance Director, Elementary School, Fort Lauderdale, FL * "We put ours in the teacher's lounge to keep the staff informed of all operational information (fire drills etc) as well as instructional and extra-curricular activities...was a good idea, everyone is much better informed." -- Elementary School Principal, Jacksonvillle, FL * "Our principal wants to know everything going on in the building, 24/7. We post it on the board (even maintenance work) so he is aware of who is in the building at all times." -- School Secretary, Woodbridge, VA
