Friends of Rolling Hills

The problem

Friends of Rolling Hills is the parent group for Rolling Hills Middle School in El Dorado Hills. Its Weebly site had grown to 22 pages, 16 of them hidden from the menu, with forms and documents scattered across uploads. Parents needed one place to find the next meeting, the calendar, Dine-Out nights, and ways to volunteer and give.

The site also had to outlast any one volunteer. Board members change, and whoever holds the job next has to be able to keep it running.

What we built

• One calendar runs the site. Every meeting, Dine-Out night, and school date is one line. The next meeting, the next Dine-Out, and the coming-up list update themselves.
• Everything in one place. About and the Board, Events and the full calendar with filters, Volunteer, Giving and Give Back programs, what FORH has funded, Teacher Favorites, Contact, and the By-Laws.
• Forms that are easy to find. The donation form, volunteer form, calendar flyer, and By-Laws, each in one place, updated by swapping a file.
• Old pages, brought back properly. Teacher Favorites, where RHMS staff share a few of their favorite things, was a document on a hidden Weebly page. Now it’s a page of its own.
• Careful with families. No trackers. Photos are web-sized with location data removed, and no identifiable students without a district photo release.

Handing over the keys

• FORH owns it. The web address, the hosting, and the website files are all in the group’s name. Hosting costs nothing; the group pays only for its web addresses.
• Nothing is lost. The old Weebly site stays as it was and forwards visitors to the new address, and a saved copy keeps all 22 old pages and their documents.
• Board members can take over. New admins can be added in a few steps, any change can be rolled back, and a plain-language guide explains how.
• Someone answers. Lovanium Studio looks after the site through October 2030, including the calendar and Board update each August.
