SMMUSD Unveils Newly Designed District Website
SMMUSD
is excited to announce that its website (www.smmusd.org) has a fresh new look!
The
website has been updated with a blue and yellow color scheme and a variety of
education-related images. The new site
is also easy to navigate. Department
links can be found in the left-hand column of each page and links to more
detailed information and documents can be found across the tops of the
department pages.
Links to
the individual school sites can be found in the lower right-hand corner of the
home page, while the lower left-hand corner will be continuously updated with
announcements and district events.
The new
website, which has over 200 pages, 250 images, and 1,400 PDF documents, went
live during the evening of February 20, 2008. The public unveiling occurred as
part of the Superintendent’s Report during the February 21st Board
of Education meeting that was held at the Santa Monica City Council
Chambers.
Superintendent
Talarico explained that just after the beginning of the 2007-08 school year,
she had met with Maryanne Solomon, a consultant from Art Meets Technology, and
decided to move forward with updating the district’s website.
“Maryanne
is a miracle-worker,” Talarico said as she introduced Ms. Solomon at the board
meeting.
Before
unveiling the website, Solomon thanked the Superintendent for asking her to
lead the project. Following the
presentation, Board President de la Torre told Ms. Solomon that the new website
“looks great!”
