Orcas Island School District has launched a new district website designed to provide students, parents and the community easier access to school and district information as well as to educational resources.

In addition to each of the five schools being provided with their own site, each teacher is also designing a site specific to their classes.  Students will be able to log in and view upcoming events and assignments from all their classes on one combined calendar.

There will also be links to newsletters and student bulletins, lunch menus, progress on the 2012 bond project, news from the school library and important documents covering school district policies.  Also, teacher profiles and contact information will be available for the parents and students.

“We are in the process of reorganizing the current content and adding additional resources,” say school representatives. “Please bear with us during this process. For Microsoft Windows users, we have found it works best with browsers other than Internet Explorer.”

Access to the site is through www.orcasislandschools.org. A link to the old site is provided under Quick Links.  If you are a parent or student of Orcas Island School District, contact your school office for your activation code and visit the site for instructions on how to take full advantage of our new learning community information system.
