Facebook and school/class groups

[Emcont]

Following on from another post about coming off of Facebook, the only thing keeping me on there at the moment is being part of my childrens school/class groups with the other parents from each class.

I find it informative and worry that I'll miss info or updates if I'm the only one not on there.

Anyone else like this? Did you miss much from not being on there? (By there I mean the groups)

Our school provides emails and text messages for updates, I'm sure if there was anything important it would be in newsletter, so I keep a hold of that.
I don't have FB, but manage to get by. The one would be children's after curricular activity's, most of them rely on FB for updates. But still we have managed to get information that's been needed like cancellations etc. Most will call or send a message.
