Hello,

New Django user.

I'm building an application to help manage departure scenarios for
elementary school students. One feature allows parents to login and
and make changes to their children's departure routine. ie. Instead of
"Get on your normal bus," they could change it to "Go to music lesson
with Mr. Smith."

Just before school lets out, reports are distributed to the homeroom
teachers so they will know of any changes.

I had set up related models Parent and Student. Then I got ready to
work on the authentication for the parents and thought maybe it would
be easier to set the parents up as 'Users' to take advantage of the
built in Django authentication structure.

If I go this way, I will be limited in what fields I can associate
with Parents/Users unless I extend the built in Users model (can I?)
I'd like to be able to include some "convenience" fields (parent cell
phone, emergency phone, etc.) on the report.

I'd appreciate some suggestions as to which way makes the most sense
from a Django point of view. Is there a Django "best practice" for
this?

Thanks,
Dan Jewett
