NEW LOOK FOR BOARD WEBSITE

The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board's homepage is sporting a sleek new look. The site has been re-designed by staff to make access to information even easier. The address is the same:  www.hpedsb.on.ca.
The change at the homepage is the first step in streamlining the whole site. Some links  are to existing pages while others are straight to new webpages.
The main homepage graphic incorporates the book from the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board logo with faces of students and staff from schools. The pictures will change periodically and new links will be added to the button bar as the site expands.
"Links for Students" and "Visit our Schools" will remain the top two buttons. "Links for Students" has a new funkier design to appeal to kids and "Visit our Schools" features a handy point and click map to our schools as well as searching by name. Now people unfamiliar with our area can click on a community and the schools located there will be identified.
New links have been added such as "Board News", which will feature news releases, highlights and special events, and "Community Use of Schools" with information about booking school facilities for use
Check it out at www.hpedsb.on.ca to see all the new additions and updates.
