Dover Township

For my second assignment, I researched Dover Township school district in Morris County.  I live here in Dover and have been for about 3 years so I was curious as too what their website looked like.  But before I begin with the website I would like to talk about the town.
Dover is made up of mostly a Hispanic community, about 70 percent,  comprised of Puerto Rican, Columbian, Chillian and Mexican.  Spanish is the main language spoken in this town which makes me a minority here.  But I love it, great people, great restaurants.
The school has a DFG A rating which is the lowest of the socioeconomic groups, but you wouldn't know it looking at the school district's website dover township.  It is a fully comprehensive website, it has almost everything that Jamie Mackenzie mentions in her article "Why in the World Wide Web".
There is a great home page with an introductory and mission statement, there are links to other resources offered on the web and I did find data relevant to specific subjects.
What I didn't find was any gallery of work done by the students and I didn't find individual teacher pages but there were pages for individual classes that had assignments and resources on them.  Also, there was teacher contact information.   All in all, for a a district factor group A website, I thought it was well done.
