we will all be following some specific guidelines beginning the

school year 2016-17 approved by Mr. Ingano.

on the district and school page just inform Mr. Terrance Ingano, and your name will

be listed only.

• ALL Staff--On your admin page go to update my profile.

• CES Teachers

been assigned that category. Under Education add your degree.

• CMS & CHS Teachers

specifically on your Home page) and under Education add your degree. You don’t need the

Clinton Public Schools Website

2016-2017

• VISION

– Continue to expand the CPS websites to have fresh up to date pages – Post information/dates

– Showcase what a great school district we are

– Have all teachers use their websites and post homework

• GOALS

– Make the CPS Website the first place people go to get information. Create an up-to-date hub that is useful for parents, students, teachers, administrators, prospective students, and community members.

– Continue to update mobile website as much traffic is coming from mobile devices instead of computers, we want to be user friendly for viewers on the go!

– to give as much information as possible to prospective students/parents by connecting to School Facebook Pages.

• Our School Website should be the first place people go to get all information--work with administrators and teachers so that we can publish all of this information and make our school district “shine!”
