Web Page Updates

Now that summer vacation is over, it is time to start thinking about your web pages.  Please remember to update your pages.  Remember to update your bio page with any dates.  For example, many teachers state, "I have been teaching for 10 years." and the "Last Updated May 2009."  You can replace that statement with: Updated during the 2010-2011 school year. 

You can find directions for updating your web pages from home on the intranet.  Click on "Training Documents" to access the directions.  The following are few items that you may need to update:

  • Biographical Information

  • Schedule/Specials Page

  • Student Showcase Page

  • Homework

  • Calendar

  • Classroom Information and Newsletter

  • Classroom Activities

  • Recommended Links

Deb Balayti will help teachers with their pages.  Please contact her if you need help.  She will meet teachers during their planning periods.
