We are excited to begin the process of developing a new website for the district. We met yesterday with the web designer, and he was very open to ideas, had great suggestions, and seems committed to getting the basic design done for us in the near future. We need to put a new "virtual face" to the world to showcase the district!
One of the strongest recommendations we had from staff, students, parents, and community members during our meetings on how technology can improve student learning was the development of a new website. Students stressed the importance of having a place to interact with their teachers and with each other about assignments, to clarify their understanding of new learning, and to seek help when they run into difficulties. Parents, teachers, and community members talked about the need for accurate, timely information that was easily accessible via the website.
Our intent is to have the website up and running by August, ready for the start of the new school year. Teachers will each have their own web page, which will take some time to accomplish. Teachers who are available during the first week of August will have the opportunity to learn how to set up their web pages. Others will need to work on theirs later, with the goal of having all teacher web pages ready to publish no later than October 1.
If you have suggestions on what you would specifically like to see on the district's new website, feel free to leave a post here, call, or email.
