The new website features a fresh look with descriptive content, original photos, and powerful videos showcasing students, staff, and schools.
Here are a few key changes to look for on the new website:
- Accessibility: The site has been designed with accessibility in mind, removing old content and file types that previously hindered accessibility.
- Multiple Languages: Families will be able to explore the website in multiple languages, including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, and more.
- Navigation: If users cannot find something from the old navigation, they can click the “hamburger” icon (three horizontal lines in the top right corner) to reveal common destinations.
- Family Portal: The OneView Portal has been renamed the “Family Portal” to improve clarity for new families.
- Easy Enrollment Form: Families considering enrollment can use a simple form to ask for more information or request a school tour.
- Digital Calendar: The academic calendar is now fully digital, making it accessible and fully integrated with the district’s app and school websites.
- App Integration: The website is fully integrated with the school and district app, providing the same news feeds, social media posts, and calendar announcements. This integration answers parents’ requests for a single platform to access classroom, school, and district information.
The website conversion will begin at approximately 3:00 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25. During the transition, school and district websites may not load properly, and users may encounter error messages. Full functionality is expected to be restored over the weekend.
