Changing or Adding Content to a Webpage

Puzzle.

Mr. Riviere will try to help teachers with questions about making changes to their teacher pages or to school pages on this website. When sending an email requesting help, be sure to follow the guidelines below so that the changes you desire will not be delayed.

Making Changes to your Teacher Webpage

Teachers have three choices:

  1. Create a blog or Google calendar or something similar. Schedule a time with Mr. Riviere so you can have the new tool embedded into your teacher page. From that point forward, you can access your blog or Google calendar and make changes from any Internet-connected computer and make changes that will appear instantly inside your teacher page.
  2. Learn to use the Adobe Contribute software. You can learn to use the software through these online tutorials. There are a limited number of copies of this software so just ask about its availability.
  3. Send in a request to Mr. Riviere giving as many details as possible along with the best time during the school day for you to talk with a student helper or Mr. Riviere about the work that needs to be done.
    • Did you know that you can send in a Word document and ask for it to be saved as a PDF? That will allow your students and their parents to view the information online just by clicking on a link from your teacher webpage. This is ideal for Grading Policies, your Syllabus, or any other information you want to make sure is accessble from any computer with Internet access..
    • If you would like to include photos of students, be sure to follow the photo guidelines.

Adding an Event to the School Calendar

If you like something added to the school calendar, send an email to Arlene Enriquez at aenriquez@scusd.net or to Mr. Riviere at jriviere@scusd.net. Be sure to include the following:

  • The exact date where you would like your event to appear.
  • A very short title for the event that can be read at a glance. The calendar will show a limited number of words.
  • Optional: A longer description of the event. The calendar allows viewers to click to see the longer description.

If you have more than one item to add to the calendar, ask Mr. Riviere about gaining direct access to add content to the calendar. This is a appropriate for staff members and certain others.

Adding an Announcment for the Entire School

If you have an announcment that you would like shared with the entire school, send an email to Mr. Riviere at jriviere@scusd.net making the request. Make sure your announcement is ready to be copied and pasted onto the website (no spelling errors, etc.). You can also send a Word document which will be turned into a page that can be viewed online. If you are including a photo to accompany the announcement, please make sure it follows the photo guidelines.
