Northside
Independent School District
1. Protection of student privacy is imperative.
· Do not publish surnames.
· Do not publish photos of individuals (groups are acceptable).
· Do not publish home addresses.
· Do not publish home phone numbers.
· Do not publish grades or test scores of individual students.
2. Get parental permission before publishing any information (photos, voice, video) about a student or before publishing any student work. (Form letter available on this site in English and Spanish). The Campus Web Master or designee must keep a copy of this release, which must be renewed annually, on file.
3. The Campus Web Site (especially links to the outside world) must be reviewed and approved by the Campus Principal. The Campus Principal makes all final decisions regarding the scope and design of the Campus Web Site.
4. The Campus Principal or Campus Webmaster may designate other campus employees to work with the Campus Webmaster, as part of a “Campus Web Team.” Campus Web Team members can volunteer their time to maintain their own department or teacher/classroom web sites. Campus Web Team members must abide by the NISD Guidelines for Web Publishing.
5. All official (i.e. approved by the Campus Principal) department and teacher web sites must reside on the District web server. Only the Campus Webmaster or designated Campus Web Team members may upload content to the campus site, all of which must reside on the NISD web server. Upload passwords are not to be shared with anyone other than the Campus Web Team members.
6. There must be no errors in spelling or grammar.
7. The content must be appropriate for K-12 education, in line with the District Acceptable Use Policy, and useful to the target audience.
8. Include graphical elements that complement rather than detract from the content.
9. Maintain functional and graphical continuity (i.e. similar “look and feel”) on all pages down through the second layer. Take into account the needs of the campus departments when designing the Campus Web Site.
10. Keep it simple! Content is much more important than gratuitous use of the “latest and greatest” in Web authoring tools. If necessary, the Campus Webmaster or Campus Web Team members may discuss additional needs (technology infrastructure, hardware, software, etc.) with the District's Instructional Technology Webmaster.
