Our New Website Launches December 6

When you visit our school or district website beginning December 6, you will find it easier to navigate and find information, as well as notice an improved design! The replacement of our existing site was possible through the 2008 Technology/Capital Levy approved by voters. This was not a General Fund expense.

We hope you will take the time to visit our site by going to www.edmonds.wednet.edu and then clicking on our school name. Exciting new features of site include:

· Navigation. The new website will have navigation that is easy to use and a search feature to help you find what you are looking for.
· E-Alerts. You can register for our site and sign up for E-Alerts, which are email notifications sent when our school's website is updated. Now, instead of visiting the site multiple times to check for updates, you can be notified of changes or new information via email.
· Calendar. Our school's calendar will be updated as new events are planned.
