2013-2014 SCHOOL YEAR


Coaches,

Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year! 
We are going to continue to use the same software as we did last year.  There are a few good advantages to the new website/software.  The greatest advantage is that you have access to your website and can make changes from any computer that has Internet access.  You don’t have to be at school to update your site.  The websites and software application are web based on don’t reside on the school servers.
There are also some disadvantages.  The biggest change is that the district is moving towards consistency with academic and all other district websites.  They want them all to look similar from page to page and campus to campus.  Because of this, we have been very restricted on the parts of the web pages that we have control over. 

The district has established how the top of the page and the left column of the page will look.  We have no access to these areas.  We only have access to the right column.  With that being said, we have come up with a format that will hopefully fulfill our coaching needs and satisfy the district need to be consistent.  Another disadvantage is the spacing issues.  This was also an issue with our old software and any webpage software that I have ever used.  Sometimes it double spaces, sometimes it single spaces….Sometimes the letters are big or small…..Practice makes it a little easier.
I will post links to some instructional videos to help you get started.
