New Escambia School District Website Now Online

September 20, 2013

The Escambia County School District’s main website has a new look.

The new site is located at www.escambiaschools.org, but the old address of www.escambia.k12.fl.us  should be automatically redirected to the new page.

Changes to the site were made based on recommendations from the district’s Web Site Task Force, which is composed of 13 representatives from district departments and schools as well as the community.  One of the goals of the Task Force was to make the district’s web site more user-friendly.   As the school district migrates content to the new design, visitors to the web site will see five main improvements:

  • New design with common menus on all of the main district web site pages to enable easy navigation
  • Expanded, alphabetical listing of resources for Students, Families, Staff, and Community
  • Quick Links highlighting the most important information based on site usage statistics and input from district leadership
  • Social media (beginning with Facebook and Google Calendar) to expand access to news and events
  • Faster access to school web sites and consistent placement of common elements on all school web sites for ease of use

    If the calendar does get looked @ again, maybe there could be a way to let the kids get out of school on like the 14th of Dec. versus the 20th, like they have before, that way it will help families that travel off for Christmas, whether they go on into June or go back quicker in Jan., I know it sure would help me out.

    Yuck. I have always felt, if it isn’t broken don’t fix it. The old calendar was much better and much easier to read. The new one is really junky and it takes forever to figure out what dates you want to see (ie student days off). At least re-look at the calendar and put it back the way it was.
