JCPS Webmaster Tips

JCPS websites are progressing nicely and we have prepared a rubric to help everyone clarify the requirements of your school's website. We will be using this rubric to audit each school's website in the spring semester. Please use this tool to ensure your school's site is meeting all of the necessary requirements. You can access the rubric here . As a reminder we are holding a webmaster work session today (Tuesday, Nov. 28th) at the West Campus Computer Lab from 2-5 p.m. We will be happy to assist you on any of your website needs at the session.

The following presentation has been updated and can be used as a resource to complete your school's Staff Directory. The Staff Directory is one of the required pages for your school's website. Please email Nathanael Shelton or Caitlin Furr with questions regarding this process. Thank you!  - Staff Directory Page

We have created several Banner MMR images that are available for your use. You can access those photos here . We will be adding more images to the folder over time. There are currently Character Education photos through the month of December. We will provide images that match those that are featured on the district's site when available.

All teacher website transfers that were submitted through the form have now been completed. If you submitted a teacher transfer request through the form please verify that it now appears on your school's site. If you submitted a teacher's name to be transferred to your site and it is still not appearing on your school's website you will need to create a new section for them. You can find instructions on how to create a new teacher section in a previous post . If you did not submit a teacher website transfer request previously and still have staff that need to be moved to your school you can make the request using the following form: https://docs.google.com/a/johnston.k12.nc.us/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSm1lOBxtoc8oSObVUlb5TPJH_BmkpY_Yv1xuPujc-xIELIg/viewform
