The teacher is responsible for his or her respective classroom web page(s). All material originating from the classroom will be consistent with the District’s style and content guidelines.

Unauthorized use of copyrighted material is prohibited. Copyright and trademark laws apply to electronic publishing as well as to print publishing. Permission to use information, graphics, or photographs must be obtained if the district is not the copyright owner. Acknowledgment of such should be placed on the site.

Items that are prohibited from being published include:

• Personal information about staff and parent volunteers including non-district email addresses, non-district mailing addresses, and non-district phone numbers except as approved by the LEA principal.

• Student personal contact information of any kind (You may use first name and last initial).

• Pictures with names of students may not be displayed on the website. Student work may be pictured along with their full first name and only their last name initial.

• Links to non-professional, staff, volunteer, or student personal home pages (ex. FaceBook, twitter, etc).

• Links to sites that are in conflict with the goals and objectives of the Public Schools of Robeson County.

• Please adhere to the following design guidelines on every webpage:

  • Webpage editors and teachers should use a consistent style on their pages.

  • Fonts should be one of the Standards: Verdana, Times Roman, Arial, Tahoma.

  • The district’s preferred font is Verdana.

  • Page content should be no bigger than Font Size 4 (14pt), and no smaller than Font Size 2 (10pt).

  • DO NOT USE UNDERLINES, Use of underlining is restricted. According to ADA regulations, underlining should only be used to denote links.

  • Use of scrolling Marquee text is strongly discouraged. Scrolling text can be difficult and time-consuming to read and should be avoided when displaying important information.

  • Avoid color schemes or backgrounds that make the information on the page hard to read, including highlighting text in a different background color.

  • Avoid using white text or links (difficult to print). Avoid the use of yellow text (difficulty to read), and finally avoid the use of blue text (Should only ever be used to represent a hyperlink).

  • Graphics should be used judiciously. Ensure that all images have sufficient resolution and clarity.

  • Animated GIF files should be used very sparingly and need to be relatively small (under 200k). Animated GIF files should have transparent backgrounds.

  • All text should employ correct grammar, mechanics, and usage according to the rules of Standard American English.
