Norwood Public Schools Working to Launch New Website

Norwood Public Schools will be giving their district and school websites an overhaul this summer and they are currently seeking input from parents on what the new sites should feature.

The survey, found here, asks what ways the new websites would be most helpful to them and their children.

"We’re trying to integrate that into our design. So that parents, community members, students, family members and staff are able to find the information quickly and easily,” said Joe Kidd Director of Technology Services for the district.

Kidd said they will be use a CMS (content management system) that will make it easier for faculty and staff to update the site more quickly. He also said it will have a cleaner and better looking design.

They received 11 proposals to design the new site and Campus Suite was the company they chose. Kidd is currently working with Campus Suite to design the site which is schedule to launch July 1.

“Some of the things that the Superintendent has heard from parent groups is that it’s difficult to find information and difficult to navigate through the site. So this helps us better put our information where parents and others that need to find it quickly can,” Kidd said.

He also said they would be offering training throughout the summer to make it easier to use before the start of the new school year.
