Directory

I've been working with a couple of Newton Public Schools to help their PTOs take their directories online. These directories contain contact information for each household, including home address/email/phone, parent info and student info.

I think where we're headed is to use CiviCRM to manage all this, since it has the contact management and the relationship management features built in. But it's taking some effort to get this configured. Has anyone done this before? Any advice?
