Peachjar
Peachjar is a tool currently used by Seattle Public Schools to allow community-based organizations to distribute electronic flyers to families via email and a link in the footer of the school websites. Learn more about how Seattle Public Schools is using Peachjar.
Website Content Standards
The Seattle Public Schools Website Stewardship and Standards aims to accomplish three things:
- Support the vision, goals, and values of Seattle Public Schools.
- Assist web editors in creating digital content that complies with SPS rules, standards, and legal requirements.
- Support user-centered SPS websites.
Students and Families Come First – The prioritized audiences for the public district websites (district and schools) are families and students. All content on these sites is created and maintained with their needs in mind. Staff-only resources should be published on MySPS or other staff digital platforms such as SharePoint.
