As your district grows, you'll find a greater need to keep the staff informed about all that is happening. This can become an overwhelming task and may already be a source of employee dissatisfaction. If you frequently hear "No one told me," or "Why weren't we informed," then the affordable, convenient solution is to implement a secure Intranet site.

The simple definition is that it is a restricted computer network or website used internally by an organization or company. How are they being used in school districts? Imagine one central location where you can inform your entire faculty and staff of important news and events with just a few clicks of a mouse.

No more whining about not being told about a department meeting or a school-wide deadline. No wasted time repeating the same information over and over or traipsing back to your office one more time to get that form that everyone is required to complete and return by the end of the week. One location, secure logins and passwords, and everyone saves time, money, and hassle. A central location, accessible even from home or on the weekend, for all those necessary resources like Webmail, absence reporting, staff contact info, leave requests, etc. The best part is that your district-wide Intranet can keep everyone feeling like they are truly part of the team—everyone focused on the same overall goals.

Our School Intranets are a Web-based system that allows only those with a username and password to login and see the information posted. You can assign update privileges to key personnel so they can keep their department or school information current ,or School Webmasters will handle all updates for you as part of their ongoing services. Updates are easy using a simple text editor and users can be added or deleted with ease.

How can you use your school’s Intranet more effectively? The sky is the limit, but here’s a quick list to get you started.

• Improve internal communication, building unity and trust.
• Simplify tasks, reduce repetition, save time.
• Create one central, convenient location for all staff information.
