New Google Sites

Google just released a new version of Google Sites that is now available to all staff and students who have an @wdmcs.org account.

Here’s what’s special about the new Sites:

• Just like Google Docs, the new Sites is really easy to use and allows you to collaborate in real-time.
• Sites look great on any device by default.
• Deep integration with Google Drive makes editing, managing, and sharing sites even easier.

By the way, you will continue to have full access to the current version of Google Sites on sites.google.com. And any sites created on the new product will continue to work once it launches to everyone.

Some resources to get you started:

• Go to sites.google.com/new and start a site
• Video on How to use Google Sites
• Google Sites Help Center

 

 

Jan 13th: Planned phone/internet outage at Operations ONLY 9am to 11am

Wed Jan 13th: There will be no phone or internet access at the Operations building ONLY, from 9am and will last approximately 2 hours.

How will that impact our schools?  During this time frame, you will NOT be able to contact Operations/Transportation via phone or email.

Why?  The City of West Des Moines is doing emergency work on underground fiber optics along Grand Avenue.  The fiber was recently damaged and is impacting city services and since we are sharing fiber in this area, our services (at Operations ONLY) will be impacted during the repair. Under normal weather conditions, this work would be done during the evenings – but with extremely low temps, the emergency work needs to be moved to the day time.
