Navigation

Most of the static information is available under the tabs at the top of the page. However, new information may be added at any time. The Latest Updates list will tell you what has been recently added or edited, but is not a list of everything that is available on the website.  You can also do a search if you are looking for something specific. When someone adds content they are required to choose a category. So, for example, if Mrs. Wagner wants to make an announcement about an assignment, she can submit this after logging in and using the submit form, choosing "Wagner" as the category. When you click on Mrs. Wagner's tab, the new announcement will show up under her tab.

Calendar

To access the calendar, click on the month title of the small calendar on the sidebar. This will take you to the main calendar page. On this page, you can navigate through the calendar by month, year, etc., You can also jump to a particular month by clicking on the last picture above the calendar. This will bring up a menu list of months and years. To submit an event or calendar note, there is a text link below the calendar. You must enter a SHORT title and a category on the first tab, and you can add more detailed information below in the text area. This will put the event title on the calendar, and then viewers can click on the event and get the additional information. After you enter the title and category, you need to go to the second tab and click on the dates (make sure you do this, because the default will be "today's" date). Make sure you check the box there if you do not have a specific start time, or it will enter the default time of 8:00am into the calendar.
