Requirements for Offices Only

What design should I use for my office web site?

All non-school MCPS web sites should be in the MCPS Web Template. The template includes most of the required elements for office web sites.

What do I do if my site is not in the template?

Contact Web Services so we can help you transition your site to the template.

What are the required elements for my office web site?

All  office web sites should include the following:

• Office/department/division name, address, phone number.
• Staff Directory: updated list for your office or location

How often should I update my office web site?

Offices should review and update the content and staff directories on their sites at least once a year. If an office reorganization occurs in June/July, the office should update its site and staff list before the beginning of the new school year.
