Plains School to get new website
<p>The old Plains Public Schools website is getting a fresh new look and design.</p>
PLAINS – The Plains School Board of Trustees met on Monday, March 19 to discuss their new up-and-coming website.
Technology coordinator Kenny Marjerrison showed the board the website which is currently still in the designing stages.
Marjerrison explained the new site will be easier to navigate and will condense the information into fewer links.
Currently the Plains School District website has 18 tabs, which run down the left-hand side of the website. The new site will be condensed into seven “more descriptive and useful tabs,” said Marjerrison.
The updated site will make it easier for teachers, students, and parents to find the information they need and will also be more interactive.
“Every student, every parent and every teacher will have a personal login onto the website and will see content relevant to them,” explained Marjerrison.
The possibilities with the new page are endless; with Marjerrison saying all of the possibilities will not be explored in the first couple of years because it will take time for people to get familiar with the new site.
The website will have a current calendar, policy books, school board agendas and athletic schedules.
The most popular links on the website will be made easier to access so that less problems will arise when viewers try to obtain the information.
“I’m sifting through seven years of stuff trying to figure out what’s still useful,” said Marjerrison.
